About North Shore Animal League America , Inc.

Description: NSAL America is the largest hands on humane organization in the world. We rescue and give medical care to over 20,000 orphaned animals each year, animals that would otherwise be put to sleep; our emergency response teams are currently saving animals lives in the Hurricane Katrina area.

Mission: NSAL America, founded in 1944 is more than just an advocacy group. We not only advise the public through the various mediums about how important it is to adopt from a shelter and spay/neuter your pet. We actually go to shelters and homes to rescue unwanted animals and find them homes with new families. Any sick animals we rescue are cared for in our medical center, and not destroyed as in many other shelters. All this work is able to be done through voluntary public support of caring people all over the world.
