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.
Every rescue pet has a unique story to tell. But some stories stand out as some of our proudest success stories. Take Jamie, a Cocker Spaniel puppy rescued from a Midwestern commercial breeding facility with multiple disabilities, whose photo on social media placed him in the arms of his perfect companion.
Our Pet Health Centers is offering a special discount during the month of September for pet owners that take their pet for a pre-spay/neuter exam and receive $10.00 off the exam fee as well as 10% off the blood work required for the procedure.
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.
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!
Bianca’s Furry Friends, our proposed state-of-the-art Feline Adoption Center will enable us to rescue many more animals by adding a second floor to our existing shelter.
Happy Tails
