About the Petersburg Humane Association

Petersburg, Alaska, is a remote island community with about 3500 human residents. Its isolation means most of its animal problems are home-grown, as are most of its animal solutions.

PHA is a group of volunteers that organized a year ago to serve as a focal point for finding solutions to those problems. Our ultimate goal is a town in which every companion animal has a safe and loving home. In the meantime, we are raising awareness of the needs of our animal friends, providing temporary shelter as we try to find permanent homes for animals without them now, and encouraging responsible pet ownership.

Our program has several facets, all working to benefit Petersburg's companion animals. The major parts of our task are education, animal fostering, care for impounded dogs, spay/neuter scholarships, and fund raising.
