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. Evey year, the Animal League reaches across the country to rescue, nurture and adopt approximately 20,000 pets into happy loving homes. To date, the Animal League has placed close to 1 million puppies, kittens, cats and dogs into carefully screened homes.
This League is well known throughout the region for having an extreme dedication to the well being of companion animals. It was started by a small group of animal lovers who had set up shop in their garage, and slowly branched out into an organization that has helped animals through countless situations, including hurricane Katrina. Even in their early years of development the League had their "no-kill" policy, even for the most "undesirable" (to some) of patients. Their role is animal preservation has made quite a differnece, and without them, i'm not sure who would help the animals that everyone else has given up on.
