Founded in 1944, North Shore Animal League America has grown into the world’s largest, most comprehensive, rescue and adoption organization. View our timeline to see how far our little shelter has come.
Our 8th annual national Walk & Wag Fundraising Challenge united animal lovers from 90 cities and 22 states to raise over $100,000 for homeless animals. The Challenge culminated with a finale in NYC, where participants enjoyed a vendor fair and 3-mile walk along Hudson River Park.
For its 25th anniversary, Tour for Life brought our Mobile Adoption Units to 67 cities across 39 states, partnering with local shelters to find loving homes for thousands of animals. Sponsored by Lifeproof™ with Petproof™ Technology, and with support from Nutrish™, this lifesaving tour de force showcased the power of collaboration in animal rescue.
