North Shore Animal League America
Every year the medical center takes care of more than 10,000 outpatient visits, administers more than 15,000 vaccinations and performs over 11,000 free spay/neuter procedures for adopted pets, preventing over 132 million unwanted litters. The League's SPAY/USA program is a nationwide referral service for affordable spay/neuter services. The League is also home to a National Shelter Rescue and Humane Education Team. The League has a mobile adoption program, adoption counseling, training and foster care for pets with special needs.
In 2005, a documentary series titled Animal House: A Dog's Life on the Animal Planet aired 13 episodes about dogs and workers at the League.
In 2019, the facility expanded with a second floor space to accomoodate cats being able to range free.
