 North
Shore Animal League America, headquartered in Port Washington, NY,
is the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization in
the world. Since 1944, The Animal League's mission has been saving
the lives of pets through adoption, rescue, spay/neuter and advocacy
initiatives. Every year, the Animal League reaches across the
country to rescue, nurture and adopt approximately 20,000 pets into
happy and loving homes. To date, the Animal League has placed close
to 1 million puppies, kittens, cats and dogs into carefully screened
homes. One of the first animal rescue agencies on the ground in the
aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Animal League rescued
more than 1,400 pets from the region.
The Animal League is also
home to the
Alex
Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center, which provides 24-hour care for
the pets sheltered at the Animal League. Every year the medical
center takes care of more than 10,000 outpatient visits, administers
more than 15,000 vaccinations and performs over 11,000 free
spay/neuter procedures for every adopted animal, preventing over 132
million potentially unwanted litters. Additionally, the Animal
League's SPAY/USA program is a
nationwide referral service for affordable spay/neuter services.
The Animal League is also home to a National Shelter Rescue and
Humane Education Team. North Shore Animal League America offers a
wide variety of programs such as a
mobile adoption
program, adoption counseling,
training
and
foster care for pets with special needs.
