North Shore Animal League America , headquartered in Port Washington, New York, is the largest non-murderous animal rescue and adoption organization in the world. Since 1944, the League's mission has saved the life of pets through adoption, rescue, spay/neuter initiatives and advocacy. Each year, the League reaches the whole country to save, preserve and adopt nearly 20,000 pets and to date, the League has placed nearly a million puppies, kittens, cats and dogs into carefully screened homes. One of the first animal rescue agencies on the ground after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the League saved more than 1400 pets from the region.

The league is also home to the Alex Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center, which provides 24-hour care for sheltered pets in the League.

Each year the medical center handles more than 10,000 outpatient visits, administers over 15,000 vaccinations and performs over 11,000 free spay/neuter procedures for each animal adopted, preventing over 132 million unwanted junk. In addition, the SPAY/USA League program is a national referral service for affordable spay/neuter services. The League is also home to the National Team for the Rescue of Shelters and Education of Strangers. North Shore Animal League America offers a variety of programs such as mobile adoption programs, adoption counseling, training, and care for pets with special needs.

In 2005, a documentary series aired on Animal Planet aired 13 episodes depicting dogs and workers in the League. It's titled, Animal House: A Dog's Life .
