My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This sweet neutered male Shih Tzu may be 10 years old, but he has the heart of a puppy and the wisdom of a seasoned companion. With his soft coat, soulful eyes, and gentle spirit, he’s the kind of dog who quietly wins you over and becomes the best part of your day.
He’s calm, affectionate, and wonderfully easygoing. He loves soft beds, slow strolls, and being close to his people. He’s the type who will follow you from room to room just to be part of whatever you’re doing. His favorite hobbies include napping, snacking, and offering quiet companionship. Dog and cat history are unknown.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application and select potential adopters based on how well they meet the needs of the animal. A home visit is an essential part of the process prior to a trial placement. Animals are placed on a trial basis prior to finalizing the adoption. We do require an adoption contract that contains a provision for returning the animal to Friends of Pets if there are circumstances that requires the adopter to give up the pet.

All of our animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption. If a dental cleaning is needed that also is done prior to advertising the animal on our web page..

Go meet their pets

Our pets are available for viewing online at www.friendsofpets.org

Applications are screened to find the best fit for the needs of our cats and dogs and those applicants are then invited to meet the animal in-person and determine whether they want a trial placement. By taking care with applications we greatly reduce the number of animals returned to us.

More about this rescue

Friends of Pets (FOP) was established in 1989 and is a well-known and respected rescue group. FOP was formed to increase the rates of adoption and decrease the rates of euthanasia at the Anchorage Animal Control Center. We work to place rescued dogs and cats in loving life-long homes where the needs of the animal will be met. We rescue and place 100-150 animals per year.

We work to increase awareness of responsible pet ownership and the positive impact of spaying and neutering of pets. We participate in family-friendly events in the community (Kid's Day, Reading Rendezvous, etc) to educate the public on these issues.

We provide a spay/ neuter assistance program and are helping to underwrite 10 spay/neuters per month at Anchorage Animal Care and Control.

We are a 100% volunteer organization and depend on our volunteers to carry out our mission of making Anchorage a place where all animals are wanted, loved and cared for.

We always need volunteer help to cuddle kitties, walk dogs and assist at our fund-raising events!
