This year marks the solemn 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall in August 2005. In the wake of unprecedented destruction across the Gulf Coast, thousands of animals were left stranded, abandoned or in peril, but we answered the call. North Shore Animal League America mounted thirty-six road trips and two unprecedented airlifts, ultimately rescuing 1,327 cats and dogs from impacted areas. Our Emergency Rescue Team was among the first onsite after Katrina (and shortly thereafter Rita), and we established a Katrina Animal Rescue Fund to ensure sustained recovery support.

We’re proud to announce that our Pet Health Centers have once again earned accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). This is the fourth consecutive time that our facilities have received the prestigious recognition and reaffirms our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standard of veterinary care to every animal who comes through our doors.
