Honoring Our History and Our Future
North Shore Animal League America was founded in 1944 by animal lovers who believed a simple but radical truth: every animal deserves a home. For more than 82 years, we’ve been rescuing and protecting animals in need, providing lifesaving care, second chances, and forever families through our mission to Rescue, Nurture, Adopt, and Educate. Today we are proud to say we have saved the lives of more than 1.2 million animals — and we’re not slowing down. Visit our timeline to learn more about the amazing work your support has made possible.

Helping Rosie Grow
Rosie’s journey is the very definition of what it means to “Help Us Grow.” When she was first rescued, she was suffering from severe, untreated demodectic mange — her skin raw and infected, her paws swollen, and her body in constant pain after months without care. Yet even then, her gentle spirit never faded. Through the support of our Help Me Heal Program, Rosie received weeks of intensive medical treatment — medicated baths, antibiotics, antifungals, and round-the-clock veterinary care — giving her the time and support she needed to truly heal. Slowly, her fur began to grow back, her pain eased, and her playful personality emerged. And then came the moment every rescue story builds toward: Rosie was adopted into a loving home, where she’s now thriving with a new family and even a canine sibling.
Stories like Rosie’s don’t happen by chance — they happen because of supporters like you. This Founders Day, your generosity fuels programs like Help Me Heal, ensuring animals with the greatest medical needs are never turned away. And right now you can double your impact — helping twice as many animals get the care they need and the new beginning they deserve.
