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.

Juneau Animal Rescue was established in 1963 (under the name Gastineau Humane Society) by a group of animal lovers who cared about local pets in need. From our modest beginnings in a small building underneath the bridge, we have become a well-respected private, non-profit shelter serving animals in need in our community for over 55 years. 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 55 plus years of service as Juneau Animal Rescue. We are not a government entity and rely on generous contributions from the public in order to endure and successfully care for animals in need.

Money raised from Pick. Click. Give. will go to support whatever is our greatest need at the time. That can be anything from food to specialized medical care. Donations to Juneau Animal Rescue will assist us in meeting each animals individual needs. Some animals need special care of one kind or another in order to live their lives in the healthiest and happiest way possible. These funds help us to offset the cost of everyday care for the animals we adopt out to new and loving homes.
