For Natasha Samus, adopting her family’s first dog from Animal League America was a turning point. “I always wanted a dog,” she shared. “I grew up in Russia and when we moved to America when I was 12, my parents were focused on building a life here. They didn’t speak English yet and getting a dog wasn’t a priority. But the dream never went away for me.”
After his world was turned upside down, Cornelius sat alone in a dark, windowless room; confused, heartbroken and waiting for someone who would never return. His beloved owner had passed away, and this 13-year-old Chihuahua mix was brought to a municipal shelter in NYC where, like many senior pets, he was at risk of euthanasia. Thanks to our no-kill mission however, Cornelius made his way to the safety of our Port Washington, NY campus where he’s getting another chance to find love.
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.

When we visited The Viscardi Center in Albertson, NY, we found more than just a school — we found partners who share our mission of fostering hope and resilience. The Center was founded by Dr. Henry Viscardi Jr., who was born without legs and became a pioneering advocate for people with disabilities. Today, the Center continues to be rooted in the belief that obstacles are not roadblocks, but opportunities to reimagine what is possible.
