Jack is a neutered adult male German Shepard. I have not yet met him - and he does not come to the gate to meet me- so I have no insight into his temperament yet. He is beautiful!

Remember not to judge a temperament by its cage behavior!

Meet Jack and other animals available for adoption at the Ketchikan Gateway Borough Animal Shelter Monday through Saturday 10 AM to 5 PM 

Rona and Link have been adopted!!!

Meet our shelter’s most challenging assignment.

Snowball is a beautiful blue-eyed girl who desperately wants to connect with people… but she’s convinced the world is a very scary place.

She’s not looking for someone who wants an instant best friend. She’s looking for someone who understands that trust isn’t built in a day. Or a week. Sometimes it’s built one treat, one quiet conversation, and one brave step at a time.

What she needs is Patience, Consistency, Confidence, More patience. Did we mention patience?

What you’ll get in return?

The kind of bond that can’t be bought, rushed, or manufactured. The kind earned by showing up again and again until one day she decides you’re her person.

Some dogs are easy.

This girl is a masterpiece under construction.

Snowball is not yet spayed. She can still be adopted- she just can’t go home with you until after the surgery. She is also estimated to be just one year old.

I ran her through two dog scanner engines and they came up with different results. I definitely see some American Bulldog in her. She is a fine mutt!

Meet Snowball at Ketchikan Gateway Borough Animal Shelter Monday - Saturday, 8 AM - 5 PM.

If you don’t think that spending a few minutes with shelter animals is worth your time - you should give it a try. You will both be rewarded.

This senior is named Jet and he looking for a safe space to spend his retirement. He likes to snuggle.

Jet and other animals available for adoption can be visited at the Ketchikan Gateway Borough Animal Shelter Monday - Saturday 10 AM - 5 PM.

Meet Snowball! This sweet girl is about a year old. She is not yet spayed so she can’t go home or out on walks but can be visited with in the run and adopted!

Snowball is nervous - but also curious- and sooo cute. Snowball likely needs patience and training but the resulting bond will be worth it!

Meet Snowball and the other dogs available for adoption at Ketchikan Gateway Borough Animal Shelter Monday through Saturday, 10 AM - 5 PM.

There are currently two cats and zero dogs available for adoption at the Ketchikan Gateway Borough Animal Shelter.

“Prancess” is a spayed adult female white, tan, and orangish kitty who is friendly and outgoing. She comes right out of her kennel and will circle you for attention. She confidently explored the cat room and had a very friendly meeting with the other kitty through the kennel door.

“Rona” is a tiny female tortie scheduled to be spayed next week. She is very friendly but a little nervous outside of her kennel.

Visit these female felines at Ketchikan Gateway Borough Animal Shelter, Monday - Saturday, 10 AM - 5 PM.
