Two of our shelter dogs took the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen test on Sunday February 12! Thanks to all the hard work and training put in by volunteers to accomplish this unusual feat (though it is becoming less and less unusual at our shelter--again, thanks to the wonderful volunteers!). Congratulations to Bounder and Brittany (the canines) and to volunteer trainers Karen and Peter!

AACCC wishes to thank the following veterinary clinics for providing free spay and neuter surgeries for our adoptable dogs. Each clinic usually performs one surgery a week, 52 weeks a year, for our canines, reducing each adoption fee by $80 to the public. This not only makes the dogs more adoptable, it has a significant impact on pet overpopulation in Anchorage. Thank you for performing this invaluable task!

Friends of Anchorage Animal Shelter

In the heart of a city with a population of over 275,000, the Anchorage Animal Care & Control Center (AACCC) is as unique as the town in which it lies.  The dogs can enjoy a walk along a trail system unlike any other in the United States. Surrounded by woods and water, this trail makes a nice outing for both humans and their canine companions.  AACCC has an active shelter dog training and enrichment program, and is one of the few shelters 
in the country to have dogs pass the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen test.  If you have the time, 
and would like to become a part of the volunteer team at AACCC, stop by and pick up an application.  They are 
located at 4711 Elmore Road, just behind the Anchorage Police Department. 

Below are just a few of the wonderful dogs you will find at the Anchorage Animal Shelter.  They have some "characters"!
