The Alaska SPCA was founded in 1966 with the belief that animals, as living creatures, are entitled to basic rights to their care, treatment and protection. As a result, we have been involved in helping to alleviate animal suffering throughout the state of Alaska. Our mission is to protect animals from cruelty; advocate for their moral and ethical treatment; provide them with shelter and care when in need; educate the public on responsible pet ownership; and provide the community with a low-cost spay and neuter program.
