Darla’s Journey

Year after year, our rescue efforts have a transformative impact on the lives of homeless animals and the people who love them. On a special mission this spring – one of several conducted through our ongoing partnership with National Mill Dog Rescue – we saved the lives of 50 dogs and puppies, including a beautiful 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Darla, whose trauma encapsulates both the cruelty of commercial breeding facilities and the power of nurturing to provide hope.

Donor Spotlight: Jim Duff

Donor Spotlight: Karrie Jerry

Though Karrie Jerry has never set foot on the campus of North Shore Animal League America, the organization has a special place in her heart. A Howard Stern fan from her college days at Boston University, Karrie first heard about Beth Stern’s Instagram on his radio show and was immediately captivated. “I grew up around pets that we either inherited from friends or that we adopted,” Karrie said. “So, I’ve always been interested in rescue, but Beth inspired me to pay more attention to issues around homeless animals and fostering, and to be more mindful.”

Five years ago, as part of our rescue efforts to save street dogs in Thailand, Max made the long journey from Phuket to our Port Washington, NY campus.
