Celebrate our 9th Year

We are entering our 9th year serving the pets in the interior of Alaska. We have taken in over 3800 pets since we started, a large amount for a group with no paid staff. We have seen a lot of changes in the community and hope we have helped along the way. We will be making improvements in the coming year and changing some of our requirements and priorities. We want to thank all the volunteers who have made all this possible and express our appreciation for their hard work and support.

SPECIAL NEEDS PETS

We have a number of very nice older pets, some with special needs, others are just older and not usually considered when people look for a pet. We also have a very special puppy that was brought in with a very bad break in her front leg from being attacked by a large dog. Destiny has had surgery to repair the break but it will take 6 to 8 weeks for her recovery and special vet care.

CATS

We participated in National Feral Cat Day 2011 by offering free spays and neuters for the month of September or until we run out of funds. If you know someone that needs some help, have them call us. We have a lot of cats to choose from. Please come out and see what we have. Our REGULAR adoption fee is $50.00 for adult cats, which includes spaying/neutering, current vaccinations, and training video. Kittens are $125.00, which covers the spay or neuter, vaccinations, worming and microchip when available.

Special Pets

We always have special pets that have some added requirements, because of their age, they are all very deserving of a loving home so they can live out their natural life. If you have the compassion and patience to take in an older dog or cat, please contact us.

ERA ALASKA

We would like to extend a very special thank you to all the wonderful people of ERA Alaska for their assistance in flying rescued animals through out Alaska. With their help we have been able to increase our number of adopted animals and help save more homeless pets.

FOSTER HOMES

We are always in need of foster homes. There are so many homeless animals that need an extra chance, so please consider giving them a temporary home so they can stay alive until a permanent home can be found. If you would like to try our foster home program, please contact us for more details and information.

PROJECT S.N.I.P.

We have a low cost program for dogs, with a cost of $80 for either male or female, the surgeries are on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Animal House Veterinary Hospital. Please call 488-0516 for instructions, if you want to use this service. For cats, we are still offering free surgeries until our funds are depleted. We have other options and veterinary clinics offering reduced rates, so if you need help, please call us.

LOST OR FOUND PETS

We are happy to offer a free listing of a LOST or FOUND pet for you, please call us and arrange to e-mail the information to us and we will get the information on line, ASAP.

Who We Are

We are a non profit 501 (c) 3 animal rescue group, that operates a no kill shelter. We are an all volunteer organization, we have no paid staff, so all our funding goes to help the animals and support the programs we offer the community. We sponsor and manage a low cost spay and neuter program called S.N.I.P. (Spay and Neuter Interior's Pets). We offer special services to low income families in need with their pets and support the community in many ways with pet problems. ALWAYS CALL BEFORE YOU COME BY, WE ARE AN ALL VOLUNTEER GROUP AND DO NOT MAINTAIN AN OFFICE. We will try to accomodate your needs if you call us first.

Adopting a friend

We offer a home trial period to make sure the animal you are selecting is the right one for your family. You can try the animal in your home for up to 2 weeks before adopting. An animal should be for a life time not just a spur of the moment choice. Please be wise when selecting pets for your family so that it can be a happy time for all.

Come Visit Us!

Because we are an all volunteer group, we have limited hours of operation. We are open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm, and some evenings, but you need to call (488-0516) before you come during the week for an appointment. We will always try to accomodate your needs if you call us first. We now accept credit cards, Visa or MasterCard. www.lovingcompanionsanimalrescue.org

For 2011: We took in 857 pets of all kinds and adopted or help to place 507. We still have a large inventory of fish, birds, and other pets. This has been a hard year for a lot of pet owners and everyone in general with the rising costs of a lot of products and for us a large increase in utility and heating costs. Requests for our services increased during the year with more people having problems with expenses and needed items. We were able to help or find help for those in need by reducing costs in other areas of our program. For 2010: We had a very big year, we took in 886 animals, to include: dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, wild birds, farm animals, and assorted small furry creatures. Some of the pets we took in were lost and found pets, we were able to return some, and the others found new homes if not claimed. We did free boarding of 44 pets of all kinds for people at the Rescue Mission, the Center for Non Violent Living, homeless, and other special cases referred by a social service agency. We placed or help place 685 animals in new homes. Because C&W Reptile Rescue went out of business we are looking for foster homes that are familiar and willing to take on foster reptiles, especially lizards and snakes and exotic animals that require extra care. If you have the knowledge and ability to care for these types of pets, please call us. We are always looking for caring people that can and are willing to take on special needs animals, pets that need a little extra help and time, so if you are that person, please call us, even if you can only help for a short time. Rescue and handling pets on a full time basis is rewarding but has a high degree of burn out and most people cannot take the time away from their regular lives to devote to animals, but if you would like to see what the job is like and would like to try it (any time period), come talk to us, see if you would like to try.
