North Shore Animal League America is the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization. Since 1944, we have been saving the lives of defenseless dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens — over 1,000,000 to date. Our vision is for 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.

We are located on Long Island in Port Washington, New York near Great Neck, but we work on rescue and adoption initiatives around the world.

Additional adoption info
When you come down to NSALA an associate will help you figure out what kind of animal will do best in your situation. At that point they will take out the animals you are interested in so that you may get to know them. You will have plenty of time to play and interact with your new friend in our family friendly areas designated for that purpose. When you decide you want to adopt, an associate will help you fill out an application.

Puppies (up to 6 months) $350
