Shelter Update

The Mae Bachur Animal Shelter is full to capacity. We are not accepting any more animals at this time. Please note that our website is under repair this week but we have an overwhelming amount of puppies, small, medium and large dogs currently available for adoption. Come down today and see our residents. We are also in need of foster homes for puppies and special needs dogs.

Please come by today, we are at 126 Tlingit Street in the industrial area. The shelter is open Tuesday to Sunday from noon to 7PM.

We hope to have our website updated for adoptions very soon.

Buddy Can You Spare a...Massive Amount of Dog Food?

Wow! When we put the the ad in the Yukon News and on the blog we didn't expect the response to be as big as it was. We have received a massive amount of food for our animals as well as cash donations to put towards food costs.

We know that Yukoners are generous but even we were surprised by the number of people who donated food.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to buy food for us, who dropped off money for food or who arranged for food to be ordered.

Dog Jog A Success

Our annual Dog Jog took place on 29th August. 26 dogs took part in the walk and about $1000 was raised for the shelter.

Thanks to all those who took part as well as their humans.

Jessica and the Kettle Corn folks popped popcorn for the participants and donated all sales to the shelter. Thanks to them and also the Feed Store who loaned us a water trough for the dogs and donated a box of pigs ears as rewards for the dogs.
