North Shore Animal League

North Shore Animal League America, the world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization, is a beacon of hope for animals in need. As it celebrates its 80th anniversary, the organization has saved over 1.1 million animal lives, a testament to the power of compassion and dedication.

North Shore Animal League America is a Yardi-supported nonprofit organization established in 1944 in Port Washington, NY. The organization finds homes for more than 6,000 pets from its adoption center in NY and facilitated over 50,000 adoptions around the country, working with a network of over 2,000 shelter partners.

“Each year, our medical center performs over 43,000 exams and vaccinates 47,000 animals,” said Diane Alexander, manager of corporate relations for North Shore Animal League.

North Shore Animal League has a community outreach program that helps bring awareness and support to the plight of feral cats in the community with education, TNVR (trap, neuter, vaccinate, return), assisting with the adoption of friendly cats and kittens, and supporting community cat caretakers. It also works with over 5,000 schools, libraries and after-school programs through its Muttigrees Curriculum. The program is an innovative Pre-K-Grade 12 social-emotional learning program designed to develop empathy, resiliency and an awareness of oneself and others.

Additionally, North Shore Animal League has many other programs to help the community, including volunteer and corporate programs, foster care, seniors for seniors adoptions and a safe haven for surviving pet care. It also has a 40-foot mobile unit to bring adoptable animals to company locations in its metropolitan area for a four-hour adoption event.

“Our vision is a future in which all companion animals find responsible, loving homes where they are free from abuse, hunger, fear and loneliness and receive the care and respect they deserve,” explained Alexander.

Funding from Yardi is used for its general lifesaving programs, “We are very grateful and appreciative of the support,” Alexander said.
