Homer Animal Shelter

The Homer Animal Shelter shut down in March following a confirmed case of canine parvovirus or parvo, in one of its dogs and has since resumed its services.

A dog tested positive for canine parvovirus, leading Homer’s only animal shelter to close to the public.

Winter in Alaska can bring challenges for both humans and their animal friends. And learning how to keep pets warm and stay away from wildlife is important, according to local officials.
