Every Tuesday the Commander Tom has an animal for the Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center the the studio in an effort to get pets into loving homes. To find out about more animals at the Center you can visit their website at muni.org/animal.

Here is a picture and some information about Willow:

Here is Willow, an adult, female, husky mix. Willow has very good manners, is well-behaved, bright, attentive, and easy on her leash. She will sit and down nicely for her treats, and takes them gently. She is gentle, really enjoys people, and has a warm, companionable personality. She would be an excellent companion for walks, outings, and just hanging out together. Willow can be adopted for $152, which includes her spay deposit, MOA license, vaccinations, and microchip.


Here is a picture and some information about Bella:

Please meet Bella, an adult, spayed female, pit bull mix. She is attentive, focused and intelligent, knows commands and is eager to please. She did very well in Shelter Dog Playgroup with all the other dogs and was very playful. She enjoys squeaky toys and butt rubs. She also has a cute curly tail and a very sweet disposition, making her hard to resist! Bella is a big fan of Southside Animal Hospital, as they just donated her spay surgery, reducing her adoption price by $80! She can now be adopted for $72, which includes her MOA license, vaccinations, and microchip.

What do you get for the dog that has everything? Give them the gift that gets them back to you! This humorous PSA hopes to increase identification for pets, in turn increasing the number of pets that can then find their way home.
In 2009, only 37% of stray animals brought to AACCC were claimed by their owners. Many of the thousands of stray or lost pets that come to AACCC clearly come from homes where they are cared for, trained, and loved. Sadly, most arrive because they have no identification and no way to return them to their owner. Identification and licensing go hand in hand with the protection of our pets.
This PSA is the second of two PSAs produced together this year, the first, titled “Let’s See Some ID”, was released in February. Both PSAs were chosen on May 14, 2010, as top submission to the Innovation Station at the annual Humane Society of the United States Animal Care Expo in Nashville, TN, the premier educational conference and trade show for animal sheltering professionals.
