Help the North American Animal rescue people
The North Shore Animal League have their own on-site veterinarians and operate on funds donated or raised for the animals’ care. Many times, they rescue entire litters of cats and dogs. It also houses and cares for pets left behind when the owner passes away and leaves a trust for the pet’s care.
Innovator in animal welfare
Since 1994 the League has cared for nearly a million cats and dogs, being the world‘s largest no-kill shelter, rescue and adoption center. They take pride in being a innovator in animal welfare by using a strong voice, elevating the status and promoting the acceptance of mixed-breed animals which they lovingly refer to as Mutt-I-grees.
Puppy adoptions and kitten adoptions

Volunteers

They do it all; everything from basic obedience and house breaking to food aggression and socialising the animals. It’s the best program around for our four-legged friends without homes.
Pet supplies
The League has an online and on-site pet supply store for everyone to use. They are staffed by animal professionals and can answer questions correctly and recommend products necessary for an animals’ care and well being. All the profits made from this store go right into the center to continue the good work being done currently.
Sponsorship program
They have a sponsorship program where people can offer to pay the expenses of one animal (or more) in the shelter. They are kept abreast of the animal’s progress until they either quit paying, or the animal is adopted. It is the best place for a homeless animal, and animals adopted from the League come to new homes clean and ready for love.
