  North Shore Animal League America is the world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization. The non-profit group conducts hands-on rescue missions throughout the United States and internationally, saving dogs and cats from death.

  Since its founding in 1944, Animal League America has rescued and found loving homes for more than 1,000,000 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. Each animal is given the extensive support, care, and individual medical attention it needs to live a long and healthy life. It is estimated that 8 million dogs and cats are brought to shelters each year, and tragically, about 4 million are euthanized.

  Animal League America is leading the way in promoting the adoption of dogs and cats in shelters through the Mutt-i-grees® Movement. The Movement elevates the status of shelter pets, which encourages the public to adopt “Mutt-i-grees”—rescued shelter animals, whether mixed or purebred, canine or feline.

  Animal League America pioneered the concept of mobile adoptions, using state-of-the-art Mobile Adoption Units to bring shelter animals into hightraffic areas where potential adopters can meet them face to face. The success of that program led to the creation of several national adoption tours, done in cooperation with shelters, rescue organizations, and animal welfare groups. These events result in the rescue and adoption of many thousands of animals around the country every year.

  The Mutt-i-grees Movement also includes the Mutt-i-grees Curriculum, a unique educational approach in Pre-K through high school that builds on children’s connection with animals through lessons and activities that teach empathy, compassion, and responsible decision-making. The Curriculum, now in more than 1,300 schools, represents a new research-based approach to humane education.

  The Animal League also promotes educational initiatives to increase spay/ neuter programs, reduce animal cruelty, and advance the highest standards in animal welfare.
