Alaska Dog and Puppy Rescue
Alaska Dog & Puppy Rescue was originally formed as a Rescue organization to help meet the needs of the Mat-Su Valley and its pet over population problems. The dogs and puppies taken in were literally saved from certain death. As an all-volunteer organization it hasn’t been easy but thanks to hundreds of dedicated and compassionate volunteers ADPR has continued to grow and succeed.
We continue to rescue from numerous shelters around the state, as well as from villages spread all over Alaska! We also take in unexpected litters from the public. Since our beginning in 2003, ADPR has rescued and placed an average of over 500 dogs and puppies a year. All of our animals are spayed and neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and are kept in foster care until the right forever home is found for them.
All of our available dogs have been spayed or neutered, are current on their age-appropriate shots, are microchipped, and receive a health vet check when necessary.
All of our adult dogs have been rescued from a shelter or villages from around the state. Each of our dogs and puppies stay with a foster family, where they are integrated into family life and are treated like one of the family. Our dogs are not housed in a kennel or shelter, and they receive one-on-one attention and training.
Every Saturday, available dogs and puppies are taken to one of our adoption clinic for potential adopters to meet the dogs.
