Our Impact

A pioneer of the no-kill movement, North Shore Animal League America continues to lead the way with the development of national and international programs that increase adoptions and raise awareness about the plight of homeless animals.

Since 1944, more than 1.1 million animal lives saved.

In a single year, our medical staff performed 58,000 exams and vaccinated 65,000 animals.

Each year we find homes for more than 10,000 pets from our Adoption Center in NY, and facilitate over 50,000 adoptions around the country working with our network of over 2,000 shelter partners.

It's November. The weather here on the East Coast has shifted toward the autumnal, the days have shortened, dusk arrives a bit earlier every day, and the instinct to pull in, settle down, and take a bit of personal inventory is strong.
