Alaska PAWS Renamed for Clarity | Anchorage News

Alaska’s beloved nonprofit for affordable pet care has rebranded as Alaska PAWS — a bold move to clear up confusion with the national ASPCA and spotlight its vital local mission. For over 70 years, this Anchorage-based group has offered low-cost vet services, from shots to surgeries, helping pet owners who can’t afford care. Now, they’re expanding beyond the city, traveling to remote villages to spay and neuter animals — tackling stray populations and public health issues. Plus, a new initiative by Alaska Native organizations will bring vet care to 80 villages statewide. This name change isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a step toward greater clarity and impact across Alaska’s diverse communities.
