Fairbanks Senior Center raises money for vet care

Last spring, the Fairbanks Senior Center launched the 2026 “Pets Need Love Too” campaign to support veterinary care for seniors’ pets. The campaign ensures seniors can spend their final years with healthy, well-cared-for pets, covering essential veterinary needs and the costs that keep their animal companions by their side. The goal is to raise $25,000 to continue providing essential veterinary care for the pets of low-income seniors in the Fairbanks community. Donations can be made online.
