Peter, magic didn’t save Glinda – you did.

Severe pneumonia, especially for a puppy so young, is life-threatening. And most shelter environments don’t have a place to safely house and treat contagious animals for the duration of their sickness. Often, euthanasia is the only option.

So when Glinda arrived at our no-kill campus, we knew we were her last hope for recovery. We transferred her to our Elizabeth Freed Special Recovery Center, where we could safely isolate her, monitor her progress and support her care with IV fluids, antibiotics and nutrition.

With support from animal lovers like you, Glinda is well on her way to a happy, healthy life. And with our $50K year-end match, your gift doubles to show more homeless animals a path to recovery. 

Wishing you a happy New Year,

Dr. Mark Verdino
Senior Vice President and Chief of Veterinary Staff
North Shore Animal League America

P.S. Between inflation and a funding shortfall, the future of our no-kill work hangs in the balance. We’re counting on our entire community to step up with a tax-deductible gift – especially while it doubles up to $50,000 – to close our fundraising gap and keep our doors open.DEADLINE: 12/31

Peter, Join the Match for Homeless Animals

Phantom Fluff, Sam, Dobby and Glinda have all been saved by our no-kill mission. With only a few days left in the year, there’s still time to make a matched gift that saves more homeless animals.

Join our $50K match by December 31 and your tax-deductible gift will automatically double to create more stories of rescue and recovery:Turn an injured cat’s pain into healingPHANTOM FLUFF

He’s little, but he’s a fighter! Phantom Fluff arrived at our no-kill campus with a prolapsed left eye – from trauma or a medical condition, we’re not sure. But we leapt into action and performed urgent surgery to remove the eye and support Fluff’s healing. You can send your love to this playful, loving cat until he finds a new home.DOUBLE YOUR GIFTSupport a tiny pup’s path to healthSAM

At only five months old, Sam was fighting for his life. Rescued from a commercial breeder, this pocket-sized Morkie had a heart condition that went undetected. Our expert teams administered a lifesaving heart surgery, and now Sam is a playful puppy in his adopted home! Will you send a tax-deductible gift to be there for the next survivor?DOUBLE YOUR GIFTSave a homeless animal from euthanasiaDOBBY

Time was running out for young Dobby.
