5. North Shore Animal League America

North Shore Animal League America is the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption center. Across the country, we rescue, nurture and restore pets to happy and healthy lives in loving homes. To date, we have rescued over 880,000 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies.

http://www.nsalamerica.org/

Hurricane Katrina has forced many people to take cover at public evacuation centers. Unfortunately, most public evacuation centers do not allow individuals to take their pets. Many animal shelters have opened their doors to provide temporary shelter for pets that are not permitted with their families in the evacuation facilities. Previous to this hurricane, most animal shelters in this area were already at full capacity, and they need urgent help.

The North Shore Animal League America ERT (Emergency Response Team) knew immediately our help would be needed. Our goal will be to help alleviate the shelter overcrowding by transporting homeless animals to the League.
