Fireworks and your pets!

It’s fireworks season and time for a reminder in dog safety! You can never be too cautious when it comes to keeping your pets safe. Fireworks can be extremely scary and many dogs go missing this time of year. While it can be very tempting to bring your furry friend along for the celebrations, they’re safest at home - in a crate or secure room.

Please help and adopt a pet in need at Anchorage Animal Care and Control!

🚨 URGENT: Community Help Needed🚨

The Anchorage Police Department officers assisted Anchorage Animal Care and Control (AACC) in the seizure of approximately 70 dogs from a single residence, one of the most severe neglect cases we’ve encountered.

The animals were found in unimaginable conditions. While neglect charges are pending, the immediate crisis is this: AACC is now operating at nearly three times its standard capacity. They need our help, and they need it now.

🐾 How You Can Help:
• Adopt or foster dogs from the shelter
• Donate supplies or funds to AACC
• Share this post to spread the word

These animals have been through so much, and with the shelter stretched beyond its limits, it's difficult to give each one the care and attention they truly deserve. If you’re able to open your heart or your home, even temporarily, please consider fostering a dog. Your kindness can make a world of difference and help create space for others in need.

📍Visit AACC’s page for updates, and how to help: https://www.facebook.com/AnchorageAnimalCareAndControl/

We know Anchorage is a city that shows up for those in need — now is one of those times. ❤️🐶

Please help support a member of the veterinary community! June 6th at Artic Chiropractic in Palmer.

🐾 Supporting One of Our Own 🐾

We're reaching out to our amazing community to support someone who has given so much to us all. One of our local veterinary technicians—who has generously volunteered her time at every vaccine clinic and most of our spay/neuter events—is now the one who needs a helping hand.

She’s facing some unexpected medical procedures and travel costs, and to help cover these expenses, she’s hosting a Nail Trim Fundraiser for dogs! 💅🐶

📍 All donations from nail trims will go directly toward her medical bills and travel.
This is a great chance to treat your pets to a quick pampering while giving back to someone who’s dedicated her career to helping animals and their people.

Let’s rally together and show her the same compassion and care she’s shown our community. 💛

📅 Saturday - June 7th, 10am-2pm
📍 Location: Arctic Chiropractic Palmer
1734 S Prospect Drive
💵 Donations welcome!

Please spread the word and come out if you can. Every little bit helps! 🐾
