Humane Society of Kodiak/Kodiak Animal Shelter

The Humane Society of Kodiak has been in existence since 1993. Our organization was contracted by the City of Kodiak to operate the animal shelter in 1995, changing it to a “No Kill” shelter for friendly, adoptable animals in 1997 thanks to community support. We are not members of, nor are we formally affiliated with the Humane Society of the United States or the American Humane Society. We have our own bylaws and mission statement and operate independently to service Kodiak Island in its entirety, servicing the City, Borough, Villages, and the Coast Guard Base. Our focus and the point to our fundraising is to prevent the cruelty of animals through education and other implementation by promoting responsible pet ownership, reducing the population of abandoned pets through spay/neuter programs and to promote the proper care of animals impounded at the shelter. Our board is made up of community members who enjoy the Alaskan lifestyle and have lived on Kodiak Island for many years.
