Something to Bark About
A pet is one of life’s greatest gifts. Here’s a gift list so you can brighten the season for shelter pets while they wait for a home of their own.
North Shore Animal League America will hold A Virtual Celebration of Rescue on Thursday, November 19, 2020 featuring live musical performances, celebrity adopters – some offering unique experiences that will be featured during a live auction and, of course, plenty of dog, cat, kitten and puppy love.
If you think about it, all of my fosters have the same special need: the need for a loving home. But some face extra challenges too. By most standards, these cats and kittens are not “normal.” Something is “wrong.” Amazingly, they don’t seem to notice their differences.
Keep track of important dates in 2021 with our Life Through Their Eyes calendar. Each month features our adorable—rescued and adopted—dogs and cats. In the process, you will be helping us continue our no-kill mission to rescue, nurture, adopt, and educate in 2021 and well into the future.
Are you a dog lover? Have you rescued your pooch? Well, these Animal Rescue Dog Park Socks are perfect for you. Just like your pup, these socks will steal the show. They are from John’s Crazy Socks and they’ll donate 10% from each pair sold to Animal League America.
Make a plan to take care of the people and causes you love. In recognition of National Estate Planning Week, North Shore Animal League America is offering a free online tool so you can create your will from the comfort of your home.
Here is some helpful information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of canine and feline diabetes, and how you can help your pet live a quality life if they have, or if they develop this disease.
For many of us, Halloween can be a ghostly good time, but not always for our pets. Here are some Halloween safety tips so pet lovers can enjoy their trick-or-treating and keep their animals safe from things that go bump in the night.
Happy Tails
