Something to Bark About
Some of our puppies got the chance to stay up late and strut their stuff on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. They stole the show, and now they’re ready to steal your hearts.
Join Honorary Chairpersons Beth and Howard Stern and host Joe Gatto as we honor iHeart Radio’s Elvis Duran and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. This fabulous evening celebrates another year of saving lives.
Grab your leash and tighten your laces for our 2nd annual Walk & Wag – and this time we’re going VIRTUAL! Join us at our main event on Saturday, September 29 at North Hempstead Beach Park, or create a Virtual Walk any time from any place!
One gift that animals give us is the friendship of other people who love them as much as we do. I met Julia Belle Mason in June 2017 when she traveled from her home in Mississippi to New York for her Make-A-Wish dream come true. Her wish was to visit Animal League America, spend time with me, and meet lots of cats and kittens.
Thanks to our Foster Program and Sponsor Pet Program, Sadie Mae, a young Beagle with special needs, is given care, compassion and a loving family.
Poppy and Susie arrived separately at our Port Washington Adoption Center, but quickly became best of friends. Although their time together was short lived since they were both adopted just weeks after meeting, the bond they formed proved to be stronger than anyone could have imagined.
Being overweight can cause our four legged friends to have significant short and long-term health concerns. To keep your pet in tip-top shape our Pet Health Centers is offering $10 off nutritional consultations for your pet, and 10% off any special diets that might be prescribed.
In 2019 we're celebrating 75 years of action and compassion, and our special edition commemorative calendar is getting the party started. Each month features adorable—rescued and adopted—kittens and puppies that are sure to make each and every day a bit better. Donate and get yours today!
