Juneau Animal Rescue

Juneau animal rescue provides shelter and care for domestic animals in the city and borough of juneau. We are the only bricks and mortar shelter in juneau, and the largest shelter in southeast alaska. We are an open admission shelter, meaning we will take any animal that is surrendered to us, found without an owner, or found to be abandoned, neglected or abused. All animals in our care receive a basic heath exam and are vaccinated. If they are not claimed, they go into our adoption program where they stay until we can find them a good home. All dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits and some small animals are spayed or neutered and microchipped. Dogs adopted from us are also required to be licensed before leaving the premises. During fiscal year 2024, the shelter took in 310 owner surrendered animals and 277 unclaimed impounded animals and adopted out 530 animals to new homes. Juneau animal rescue also provides limited support to animals in communities throughout southeast alaska, occasionally taking in unwanted or neglected animals from outlying communities.

The juneau animal rescue clinic is responsible for the health and welfare of all animals, both shelter and privately owned, that reside in the shelter. Last year we provided emergency care, assistance with training or behavior issues, and 1,004 low cost rabies vaccinations and 332 microchips to pets in our community. In the case of incarcerated or individuals temporarily in public or private shelters, we also provide boarding services along with some limited medical services at a reduced cost. In fiscal year 2024 our veterinary clinic provided 515 spay and neuter services, of which 135 were low cost or free to income qualified individuals. We also occasionally provide consulting services to shelters in other communities throughout southeast alaska in order to help them with a variety of animal related issues.
