Overview
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.
What it reported doing in 2024
Juneau animal rescue provides shelter and care for domestic animals in the city and borough of juneau. We are the only brick-and-mortar shelter in juneau and the largest shelter in southeast Alaska. As an open-admission shelter, we accept any animal that is surrendered to us, found without an owner, or identified as abandoned, neglected, or abused. All animals in our care receive a basic health exam and vaccinations. If they are not claimed, they enter our adoption program, where they remain until placed in a suitable home. All dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and some small animals are spayed or neutered and microchipped. Dogs adopted from our facility are also required to be licensed prior to leaving the premises. During fiscal year 2025, the shelter took in 600 owner-surrendered, stray, or abandoned animals, supported additional animals through safekeeping services, and adopted out 402 animals to new homes. Juneau animal rescue also provides limited support to communities throughout southeast Alaska by taking in unwanted or neglected animals from areas without local shelter, fostering, or veterinary services, and by coordinating the transfer of animals in our care to neighboring communities with established shelter or fostering programs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 80% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
