THE NEWS
Welcome to Juneau Animal Rescue
After more than 50 years of proudly serving Juneau’s pet population through rescue, adoption, grooming, boarding, and animal control, Gastineau Humane Society is pleased to introduce a new era for the organization. As of January 1, 2019, we will be known as Juneau Animal Rescue . 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 soon-to-be released logo more accurately convey the community spirit of the organization that has served Juneau’s animal population since 1963. By re-branding, we hope 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 .
