Every rescue story shines brighter during the holiday season, a time for hope, love, and second chances — and Claire’s journey is no exception. This brave 2-year-old Chihuahua mix, along with her four young puppies, embodies the spirit of the season. Saved from the brink of tragedy, Claire and her pups were given the gift of life through the compassionate collaboration of our shelter partner, Friends of Jefferson Animals, and the unwavering dedication of our Mobile Rescue Team.
At the heart of North Shore Animal League America’s no-kill mission are stories like Little Betty’s. Only seven months old and pregnant, this precious cat’s life hung in the balance. Through the collaborative efforts of our North Country Initiative (NCI) team in Warren County, NY and our staff and volunteers on Long Island, Little Betty not only survived against all odds but emerged as a symbol of hope for countless animals in need.
In an inspiring display of youthful generosity and community spirit, two fourth-grade girls in Port Washington, NY recently set up a lemonade stand in their neighborhood with a positive mission: to raise funds for North Shore Animal League America. Driven by their love for animals and the desire to make a difference, we were thrilled these young philanthropists chose to dedicate their efforts to our organization.

Our Emergency Rescue team is helping our shelter partners in the south that have been seriously affected by Hurricane Helene, and are directly in the path of Hurricane Milton, by clearing their shelters to help make room for those animals displaced by these tragic storms.

At just five months old, little Tommy’s heart was laboring tirelessly to keep him alive. Born with a severe heart murmur that put him at risk of sudden death, Tommy desperately needed surgical intervention to mend his heart defect. Our journey to save Tommy began when our shelter partner, Second Chance Animal Rescue in South Carolina, notified us of his condition, knowing that we would spare no effort to help. Tommy was quickly transferred into the hands of our Rescue Team, who transported him on our Mobile Unit to our Pet Health Centers.

At Animal League America, we are profoundly grateful for the partnership of donors like Abdul Isahack, who recently made a generous gift in memory of his late wife, Bharnie. Abdul and Bharnie’s support of our organization began in 1984 when they came to our Port Washington Adoption Center and found Lance. A clever shepherd mix, Lance was their loyal companion for 19years. Then in 2005, they adopted Kiwi, an affectionate Labrador rescue, and she was a beloved member of their household until her passing two years ago.
Adjusting to a shelter environment after losing the only home they’ve ever known has taken Pearl and Piper lots of resilience, but these precious felines still have an abundance of affection to share. This beautiful, senior mother-daughter cat duo has spent the past two years in our Bianca’s Furry Friends Feline Adoption Center, patiently waiting. They just need someone to give them a chance.
