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.”

Remembering the First Mutt-i-grees® School Dog

In January 2010, our launch of the Mutt-i-grees Curriculum welcomed 40 educators from Fenton Charter schools in Los Angeles California that participated in the 1st Mutt-i-grees training in New York. During the visit one educator fell in love with a very special rescue dog, Jeter. It wasn't long before this sweet dog became an integral part of the school community.
