North Shore Animal League America is the largest pet adoption agency in the world. For nearly 60 years, the League has worked to make the world a safer, friendlier, healthier place for animals in need. Since 1944, the League has placed nearly 1 million lost or abandoned pets in loving homes. We've performed countless routine and extraordinary medical procedures. And we've taught tens of thousands of caring people to be good friends, companions and caretakers to the pets they've adopted through the League.
Visitors might find it hard to imagine that one of the world's premier animal welfare organizations grew from a hodgepodge of tiny buildings - largely through the support of concerned individuals and corporations. All of our programs are funded entirely by voluntary donations. As the League's capabilities and resources grew, our commitment to helping orphaned pets extended, first nationally, then globally.
Across the United States and around the world, companion animals rely on North Shore Animal League America to represent their interests and provide them with healthier, happier lives. We hope you will share with us the joy we feel for the innocent lives we've already helped save, and take part in our eager anticipation for the untold number of animals still to be adopted in the years to come.
