Arctic PAWS Animal Rescue

Arctic Paws Animal Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and protecting animals across Alaska. The organization provides medical care, shelter, and rehabilitation for abandoned, neglected, and at-risk pets, and works to match them with carefully screened adoptive families. Arctic Paws is entirely foster-based and does not maintain a physical shelter location, so animals are cared for in volunteer foster homes until they're ready for adoption. The rescue periodically holds adoption events where the public can meet available animals in person. Beyond adoption, Arctic Paws promotes responsible pet ownership and community awareness through education and outreach across the state. Anyone needing to surrender a pet can reach out by email, Facebook, or Instagram, and a volunteer will follow up about next steps. The rescue is based in Fairbanks, Alaska.
