In September 2016, on the spur of the moment, David and Linda Kaltenbach decided to take a road trip. But it wasn’t just any road trip. It was a journey with a personally meaningful, lifesaving destination. The couple, who live in Oberlin, Ohio, drove more than eight hours and 500 miles to visit North Shore Animal League America.

When it comes to spoiling their three Mutt-i-grees®, Carmen and John Grossman are in a league of their own. Nothing delights them more than doting on their “babies,” whether it’s providing specially prepared meals, carefully vetted dog walkers, or a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play.

Jackie was searching for an organization that not only rescued animals in need, but also helped them heal and placed them in loving, permanent homes.

And we make our home welcoming, safe, and fun for our rescues. But we can help only so much. By supporting North Shore Animal League America, we can help so many more animals.”
