Every single person I meet truly care about the animals. I have two cats I rescued/adopted from the shelter. Both supposedly had behavioral problem- not aggression but I read on the volunteer sheets that they were not very friendly. Missy, the female appeared depressed but I found out she had just had a litter and she was no more than a kitten herself- she came right to me. Jacko, the male followed a few days later. Again he wasn't very personable, so said the sheets, but he came right up to me a jumped on my lap- he came home with me. That was four years ago- both are weary of strangers and that probably will never change but every might I know whose sleep where. If I'm sick they are super attentive. They were waiting for their human. Adopt an animal from the shelter- if you can't have a pet, visit with them. Dogs, cats, bunnies, gerbils, birds and I think I remember some reptiles and amphibians too- you never know what you'll find. You can't go wrong with the shelter!

They seem to take on the hardest cases, like cats who need the most medical or socialization care. I love that every cat they adopted out has been fixed, vaccinated and microchipped (although I think most of the rescues do this as well).

My husband and I decided to give our little cat to the SPCA. It was a sad decision for us and we…read morefelt very bad about doing it. I exchanged emails with a person named Jillian. The emails were friendly so I felt positive.. I arrived at the shelter and Jillian said she had not been emailing me, and some other woman had. So she lied about exchanging emails. Our cat was really upset in her carrier and I almost changed my mind. She took our cat and she refused to let me see where our cat would be placed . She said something about a quarantine which was totally ridiculous. Our cat's shots were very up to date. Then Jillian had me fill out a very lengthy registration for our cat's history on a super tiny laptop which was incredibly difficult to use. I finally was done filling out the forms. I decided to just look through the window to try to see my cat. Jillian came over to me and said in a very rude tone, nothing is needed from you, so you can leave! I was very upset that Jillian would speak to me in such a horribly rude manner. I had donated a lot of towels, to the shelter and they were still sitting on a chair when I left. Not one word of thanks! I looked at my cat on the SPCA website and I felt sick! Our cat was sitting on a stained pet bed and half of the bed was hanging off a shelf. It did not look like a big space and there were no windows. I regret very much giving our cat to SPCA. Jillian should not be working there at all. She's a terrible example of customer service. I will never recommend SPCA to anyone in the community. I would go pay to get out cat back if I could. I am very worried about her. They have a weird rule about that though!

They have a great selection of food for both cats and dogs, along with tons of treats and toys to choose from. This is where I usually shop for canned dog food. They carry the Nulo wet food pouches that my Shiba Inu absolutely loves. He is such a picky eater these days! They also have a good variety of Honest Kitchen products, which I really appreciate. They also have big selection of Stella & Chewy's freeze dried raw dog food toppers. My dogs especially like the raw freeze dried chicken. The place was super clean and organized when I stopped in a couple weeks ago. I don't think I've ever walked out empty handed. The staff is consistently friendly and approachable. They are happy to answer questions and really seem to enjoy helping customers find the right products. Für meine deutschsprachigen Freunde: Petzoo ist mein Lieblings Tierladen in Anchorage. Er liegt in der Nähe vom Dimond Blvd und Old Seward Hyw, und es gibt immer genug Parkplätze. Perfekt, wenn man nur schnell etwas holen will. Sie haben eine richtig gute Auswahl an Futter für Katzen und Hunde, dazu jede Menge Treats und Spielzeug. Hier kaufe ich meistens das nasse futter für meinen Hund. Sie haben die Nulo Pouches, die mein Shiba Inu total liebt. Er ist sehr wählerisch mit seinem futter! Sie haben auch eine gute Auswahl von Honest Kitchen, was ich echt schätze. Ausserdem gibt es eine grosse Auswahl an Stella & Chewy's gefriergetrockneten Toppings. Besonders das gefriergetrocknete Hähnchen mögen meine Hunde richtig gern. Der Laden war sauber und übersichtlich beim letzten mal wo ich forbei ging. Ich kann mich nicht an das letzte mal erinnern wo ich ohne was zu kaufen aus dem laden ging. Das Personal ist durchweg freundlich und offen. Sie beantworten gern Fragen und man merkt, dass sie wirklich Spass daran haben, den Kunden zu helfen und die richtigen Produkte zu finden.

Oh where to begin.... I would like to preface this by saying any community members who ask…read morequestions about the most recent incident have been immediately blocked by the zoo. that is enough of a red flag but i shall explain more ref flags. there have been many instances of aggression from one animal towards the next and with warning signs that have been repeatedly ignored. Most of the aggression is with the bears unfortunately. We have all heard about the most recent event, where a very small, blind, and deaf female bear was placed into the enclosure with a much larger boar (male bear) during peak mating season. that was reckless and resulted in a bear fight, the boar ripping the females skin off of her back, and it took over 30 minutes for the staff to even get to the scene and begin to assess the situation. 30 minutes. the zoo is small why did it take thirty. minutes. mind you, the warning signs hours leading up to the event were noticed by the visitors for the bears unusually closed off and defensive behavior... but the staff didn't care. (picture included) The smaller bear, btw. was never around any other bears... so why the h.. would they throw the small solo non socialized bear with a huge male bear in peak mating season??? COME TF ON NOW DUDE. what an absolutely embarrassing and disgraceful way to represent our beautiful state. common sense says that's a bad idea, but whoever was in charge of the placement shares a brain cell with a rock. NEXT. in 2022 there was a polar bear and another species, i believe a grizzly, housed together. why would you put different species of bears together? especially the 2 most aggressive species.... they also got into a fight before separation. One bear had a pretty messed up bloody jaw and there was no closure to their habitat. The staff allowed their habitat to remain open despite the animals need for "peace and quiet" as well as no regards to the families and young children who came by seeing the poor bear (picture inserted below) NEXT. There were 2 more bears that were constantly on edge constantly fighting. it took MULTIPLE incidents for them to finally separate the bears for good. I could continue with more and more they've done (or didn't do) but i think we get the point. the zoo is a sad excuse for a zoo. they're volunteer based and not part of the AZA and clearly aren't trained properly and have no real knowledge on how to read wildlife behavior and have no intention on maintaining a SAFE and FRIENDLY environment, just money hungry individ

Obviously Anchorage has a problem with irresponsible people adopting and dumping ferrets. Insert sad face here. These folks are extremely knowledgeable about ferrets and take it seriously. The contract they make you sign when you adopt is no joke. They also only adopted out spayed and neutered ferrets and they only adopt a them out in groups (so you have to adopt a minimum of 2). Ferrets are highly social and need companionship or they die of depression. I wish more people would adopt from this shelter, because ferrets are great pets and it's depressing to see all these precious critters confined to cages. Ferrets are super poopers, and it's got to be a real battle trying to clean up after 50 plus ferrets. The shelter is very.... ferret-y. God bless the Sims family for turning over their own to these little guys. We adopted a group of 3 elderly ferrets last fall and it was the best decision ever. Since they're old, they're super mellow. It's like owning furry Slinkies that like to lick you. If you like the personality of a dog, but like the cat-like convenience of a smaller animal that is litter-trained, consider adopting a couple ferrets from here. They're awesome apartment pets. They're not, however great pets if you have small kids because ferrets play nip, and they also can't tolerate being dropped. But they're great pets for older kids because they are fun to play with, can be trained to do tricks, and can even be leash trained. They also only live 5-10 years, so when your kid goes off to college, you won't be stuck taking care of them. As the Sims will tell you, like all animals, in their senior years, ferrets do develop health problems , so you need to be prepared for some end of life vet bills. But they're so fun! If you've been wanting a cool, fun, wacky pet, call for an appointment to meet some furry bandits.
