Overview

Mission

KPALs mission is help control the companion animal over-population on the Kenai Peninsula and to provide abandoned abused neglected animals with everything they need to succeed in a forever home. KPAL has taken in more than 1000 animals since getting started. Animals are placed with screened fosters until KPAL finds them a loving home. Meanwhile the animals are provided with food shelter veterinary care and love. All animals KPAL takes in are spayed neutered as soon as it is medically possible to help reduce the number of unwanted pets on the Peninsula. KPAL also hosts spay neuter clinics as often as possible to help the Kenai Peninsula community get their animals spayed neutered at a reduced cost.

What it reported doing in 2024

KPAL intakes dogs and this past year has continued with litter after litter of puppies born with no homes. An adoption fee is charged and KPAL provides spay neutering vaccinations food supplies and a foster home until an adopter can be found. The veterinary care alone exceeds the adoption fees.
