Something to Bark About
Still Wagging and Still Believing
At just eight months old, Phil has already survived so much pain. Found on the streets of Longview, TX, with a severe neck wound and multiple traumatic injuries, this loveable Hound mix remains sweet and hopeful for better days ahead.
Celebrating Volunteer Appreciation Month
April is Volunteer Appreciation Month and we are so thankful for all of our amazing volunteers! Dedicated people devoting their time and talents — like Samantha Ketelsen, a volunteer since 2020 working on our feline behavior team.

Spring Gardening and Pet Safety
Spring has arrived, which means it’s time to get back outside and spruce up those garden beds and lawns. Time in the garden can be a wonderful hobby, but it’s very important to be mindful of the types of plants you are using when your four-legged friends are also out enjoying the spring air.
Safety Rules for Kids and Pets
There are many benefits to children having a pet, including the creation of an unconditional, loving bond that brings immeasurable joy to your entire family. But before you bring home a new furry friend, it’s important that your kids (and you, too!) know some simple rules to make a happy home for everyone.

Spring is a season full of new beginnings, and it’s a moment where your legacy gift can save lives. While organizing and tidying up, one powerful way to make the most of spring cleaning: making your will.
By recording important decisions in a will, you can bring order and clarity to yourself and your loved ones, cultivating peace of mind. These choices may include:
- Who should be the trusted guardian of your children and pets.
- Which individuals and organizations should receive your assets.
- Whether you’d like to build a lasting legacy for our no-kill mission.
Our partner, FreeWill.com, offers a free and secure online resource that guides you through writing your will in as little as 20 minutes. Plus, you can easily go back and update your plans at any time. By including a gift to North Shore Animal League America in your plans, you will be saving lives for generations to come.
