Since 1944, North Shore Animal League America has been saving the lives of innocent dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens — over 1,000,000 to date!

We have an unwavering commitment to rescue, nurture, and adopt animals and are proud
to be:

• The world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization;
• A leader in the no-kill movement, rescuing and rehabilitating animals instead of euthanizing them;
• An innovator in animal welfare to create a more sustainable world for all companion animals;
• A strong voice, elevating the status and promoting the acceptance of mixed-breed animals — Mutt-i-grees^® — through advocacy and education;
• A collaborative organization that’s built a national network of shelter and rescue partners;
• A trusted source for information, education, and resources that increase adoptions and enhance the lives of adopters and their pets.
