Donor Spotlight: Carmen and John Grossman

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. They can’t imagine life without the company of dogs. And their concern doesn’t stop there. Indeed, they’re dedicated to doing whatever they can to help less fortunate animals experience the care and love their own pets enjoy — which is why they generously support our no-kill mission to rescue, nurture, and adopt as many Mutt-i-grees as possible.

Donor Spotlight: Tracy Krulick and Tom Dillickrath

For Tracy Krulick and Tom Dillickrath, of Alexandria, Va., compassion for animals involves both how they live — and how they give. “Tom and I control the things we can control,” says Tracy. “We control our food, for example, by being vegans. 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.”
