Rescuing Animals

We understand that a rescue is not complete until an animal is placed into a permanent home.

There are many ways that the Animal League’s Mobile Rescue and Adoption Teams save animals across the United States.

Here are just a few:

Dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens — earmarked for death — are taken out of overcrowded shelters.

Large numbers of purebred dogs arrive at the Animal league after being liberated from inhumane Puppy Mills.

Our humane transport efforts bring animals from overpopulated areas, to our NY Metro campus, where they can find permanent homes.

An emergency response team stands ready to deploy quickly and effectively in the event of natural disasters.

These comprehensive rescue efforts have saved 1,000,000 animals to date, and through the generosity of our supporters, we stand ready to rescue many more animals.
