Bringing Commercial Breeder Survivors to Safety

Throughout 2024, our rescue team worked tirelessly alongside our partner, National Mill Dog Rescue, to save the lives of hundreds of dogs and puppies from commercial breeding facilities. Animal League America’s Senior Rescue Manager Karla Scaramuzzo explained, “We’ve been doing more commercial breeding rescue transports than usual this past year. With less people buying pets, commercial breeders have been left with a surplus of animals whose lives are at risk.”

Answering the Call: Animal League America’s Swift Response to Back-to-Back Hurricanes

Bud: The Story of a Feral

This photo says so much. On one side of the door is our Cocomelon, safe and sound in our house. On the other side is Bud, a handsome feral Tuxedo we’ve been working with for months. He wants to join us — you can see it in his face — but he’s hesitant and frightened, caught between his desire for food and comfort and his fear of the unknown. It’s so sad. But you know me: I love a challenge!

Featured Adoptable Pet: Tommy

At just five months old, little Tommy’s heart was laboring tirelessly to keep him alive. Born with a severe heart murmur that put him at risk of sudden death, Tommy desperately needed surgical intervention to mend his heart defect. Our journey to save Tommy began when our shelter partner, Second Chance Animal Rescue in South Carolina, notified us of his condition, knowing that we would spare no effort to help. Tommy was quickly transferred into the hands of our Rescue Team, who transported him on our Mobile Unit to our Pet Health Centers.

Donor Spotlight: Abdul Isahack

At Animal League America, we are profoundly grateful for the partnership of donors like Abdul Isahack, who recently made a generous gift in memory of his late wife, Bharnie. Abdul and Bharnie’s support of our organization began in 1984 when they came to our Port Washington Adoption Center and found Lance. A clever shepherd mix, Lance was their loyal companion for 19years. Then in 2005, they adopted Kiwi, an affectionate Labrador rescue, and she was a beloved member of their household until her passing two years ago.
