Welcome to Juneau Animal Rescue
|
OUR MISSION:
To serve our community by promoting animal welfare and strengthening the animal-human bond. To improve the lives of pets through education and protection. To shelter stray, abandoned, and surrendered pets and find them loving homes. Our animal shelter began as a small shed under the bridge over Gastineau Channel. While we will always be proud of those humble beginnings, our new name and logo more accurately convey the community spirit of the organization that has served Juneau’s animal population since 1963. In January 2019 we changed our name to Juneau Animal Rescue, hoping to strengthen awareness of our organization and expand our public outreach. We are continually grateful for the generous support of the community and look forward to the next 50 plus years of service as Juneau Animal Rescue. |
Not just an animal shelter
Juneau Animal Rescue is not just an animal shelter.
We provide many animal related services that both help our pet loving community and help generate income to further our mission.

Who is Juneau Animal Rescue?
|
Juneau Animal Rescue is a private, non-profit shelter, located in Juneau, Alaska. Our shelter was founded in 1963 by members of our community who collaborated to help disadvantaged and homeless animals. We are proud to have served domestic animals in Juneau and its outlying communities for over 55 years. Although we are also contracted to perform Animal Control and Protection Services by the City and Borough of Juneau, we are not a government entity. We continue to rely heavily on the generous contributions from the public in order to sustain our honored tradition of serving animals in need in our community. It is through these contributions that Juneau Animal Rescue has been able to endure and care for animals in need successfully throughout its many years.
