Spayghetti is fast approaching and we need your help. Please share this flyer or print out and post in your business. This is the Alaska SPCA’s main fundraising event and is critical to helping us save dog and cat lives across the state. As you know, the Alaska SPCA does not receive regular support from the ASPCA, Humane Society, or other national animal welfare group. We are independent, which means community support is vitally important. In 2021, because of our community support, we were able to distribute more than 10,000 lbs of pet food, provided more than 5,500 low cost and free spays and neuters, protected pet and public health by administering 24,000+ vaccines, and found new loving homes for 206 abandoned dogs and cats through our Adoption Center.

If you can’t join us in person, please consider sponsoring or donating. 2022 promises to reach new heights, but we need your help to do that. Join us—and encourage others—for Spayghetti 2022!

Warmly,

Kelly Donnelly, MPA
