Support the Sitka Animal Shelter!

Where It All Began

The Sitka Animal Shelter exists today because of donations. In 1993, a small group of women called the Friends of the Sitka Animal Shelter began fund raising efforts for the construction of the Shelter. The Shelter's construction was completed in 1996 and half of the funds needed for the building were that of donations. Without each and every dollar given for the animals, this building would still be the dream of 7 or 8 women. 

Ongoing Efforts

While in the past, enough money was raised to construct the Sitka Animal Shelter there will always exist more needs. For example, there is always a need for monetary donations to be used for treatment of sick animals to make them adoptable, for benevolence, lifesaving efforts and the care of the animals at the shelter.

Memorials and tributes are often accomplished by donating to Animal Shelters. Donations show loving support for animals. Contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law and are always kept separate from the City's General Fund. If you are interested in supporting the Shelter financially, checks made out to the Sitka Animal Shelter can be sent to the following address:
