Before you go

Adopting from Alaska SPCA Adoption Center

Adoption process

You meet and spend time with the pet you're interested in, and if you already have dogs at home, a controlled meet-and-greet with them is required before the adoption can be finalized; adopted pets go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.
