The Ketchikan Humane Society is a 501‐c(3) formed in 2001 with the following primary goals: Help abused and abandoned animals in Southern Southeast Alaska find a second chance at a permanent loving home. Reduce the population of unwanted animals through low-cost spay and neutering services in our community. Work for stricter Animal Cruelty laws in the State of Alaska and in the Ketchikan-Gateway Borough. Our hope is to eventually eliminate killing as a method for controlling the number of unwanted animals in Southern Southeast Alaska and to hold those who abuse animals accountable in the justice system.
All of our animals are fostered in private homes. If you'd like to meet a dog please fill out an application and we will schedule an appointment. If you'd like to meet a cat please fill out an application and we will schedule an appointment - OR - stop by the Island to Island Pet Boutique to see if they are visiting. The Adoption Fee is $50 for dogs that were altered prior to rescue and $150 for dogs altered by KHS. The Adoption Fee is $25 for cats that were altered prior to rescue and $50 for cats altered by KHS.
