Donor Spotlight: Abdul Isahack

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.

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.

Violet and Her Pups Battle for Survival

Pets are not just like family, they are family. That’s why it was so heartbreaking when we first learned about Violet. Found abandoned in an empty home when her family packed up and moved away, Violet was suffering from a painful skin infection and nursing her litter of nine puppies. With no access to food or water, Violet was in desperate need of help.
