Since 1989, Friends of Pets has been an advocate for companion animals in our community. We were founded to speak for the needs of homeless pets at Anchorage Animal Care & Control, and this remains the core of our mission today. Our programs have also grown to address many other issues for pets and pet owners throughout Alaska.

Friends of Pets provides information to pet owners, educational outreach to schools and community groups, and maintains a call center for publica information. We participate in many community events to reach pets and their families. We provide information on pet behavior and problem solving. We have been recognized for excellence in the Anchorage School District School-Business Partnership program.

It actually began in 1987. Debi Richmond, then chair of the municipal Animal Control Advisory Board, called for a needs assessment to develop a five year plan for services and community support of Animal Control. That assessment determined that a volunteer program was needed to supplement the services performed by the animal control contractor. At the time, more than 12,000 animals were coming into the Center each year. Over 60% of these never found a home and were euthanized. Faced with this grim death toll, four local women decided to make a path for change.
