We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

SINCE 1944, THE NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA'S MISSION HAS BEEN TO SAVE THE LIVES OF PETS THROUGH ADOPTION, RESCUE, EDUCATION, MEDICAL CARE, SPAY/NEUTER AND ADVOCACY.

  • VETERINARY CARE AND SPAY NEUTER: THE ON SITE MEDICAL CENTER IS STAFFED BY VETERINARIANS, TECHNICIANS, VOLUNTEERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL. THIS FULL SERVICE HOSPITAL PROVIDES 24 HOUR CARE FOR ALL PETS WHO ARE SHELTERED BY THE LEAGUE EACH YEAR. LOW COST VETERINARY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR PETS IN NEED OF SUCH CARE. SPAY USA, A PROGRAM OF THE LEAGUE, IS A NATIONWIDE NETWORK AND REFERRAL SERVICES FOR AFFORDABLE SPAY/NEUTER PROCEDURES.

    Expenses $17,073,817 · Grants $5,750 · Revenue $7,005,500

  • PET RESCUE AND ADOPTION: NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA OPERATES THE LARGEST "NO KILL" ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER IN THE WORLD. WE ARE A WORLD LEADER IN SETTING BEST PRACTICES FOR ADOPTION. WE ADOPT DOGS, CATS, PUPPIES AND KITTENS FROM OUR PORT WASHINTON, NY HEADQUARTERS AND FACILITATE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ADOPTIONS EACH YEAR WORKING WITH OUR NETWORK OF OVER 2,000 SHELTER PARTNERS. THE LEAGUE CONDUCTS AN INTERNATIONAL PET ADOPTATHON WHERE SHELTERS ACROSS THE WORLD JOIN US IN STAYING OPEN FOR 36 CONSECUTIVE HOURS TO ADOPT AS MANY ANIMALS AS POSSIBLE AND A TOUR FOR LIFE WHERE MOBILE UNITS RESCUE AND ADOPT ANIMALS FROM SHELTERS. THE LEAGUE HAS ADOPTED OUT OVER 1.2 MILLION ANIMALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1944. THE MUTT-I-GREES INITIATIVE WAS IMPLEMENTED NATIONALLY BY THE LEAGUE AS A KEY ELEMENT IN INCREASING SHELTER PET ADOPTIONS IN AN EFFORT TO ELEVATE MIXED BREED DOGS TO A HIGHER STATUS IN THE EYES OF POTENTIAL ADOPTERS. OUR ADOPTERS ARE ASKED TO ADD THEIR NEWLY ADOPTED PET AS WELL AS ANY OTHER SHELTER RESCUE PETS THAT THEY HAVE OWN TO OUR MUTT-I-GREES REGISTRY. THIS INCLUDED THEM AS PART OF THE MUTT-I-GREES COMMUNITY, WHICH ELEVATES THE VALUE OF ALL MUTT-I-GREES (SHELTER AND RESCUED ANIMALS) TO REDUCE ANIMAL CRUELTY.

    Expenses $18,189,506 · Grants $35,450 · Revenue $925,106

  • HUMANE EDUCATION: THE LEAGUE CONDUCTS HUMANE EDUCATION THROUGH A MULTIFACETED APPROACH. EDUCATION MATERIAL IS PROVIDED VIA DIRECT MAIL, WEBSITE, AND THROUGH VARIOUS MEDIA INCLUDING NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, RADIO AND TV. THE MUTT-I-GREES CURRICULUM IS AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM THAT BUILDS ON CHILDREN'S AFFINITY FOR ANIMALS AND HIGHLIGHTS THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS AND DESIRABILITY OF MUTT-I-GREES, OR SHELTER PETS. THE GOAL OF THE MUTT-I-GREES CURRICULUM IS TO ENABLE CHILDREN TO GROW UP TO BE CALM, CONFIDENT AND CARING. THE CURRICULUM TEACHES SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS AND IS UNIQUE IN ITS BRIDGING OF HUMANE EDUCATION AND SEL IS A PROCESS BY WHICH CHILDREN LEARN TO MANAGE THEIR EMOTIONS, GET ALONG WITH OTHERS, HAVE EMPATHY AND COMPASSION, AND DISCOVER ESSENTIAL TEAMWORK SKILLS, THESE SKILLS ARE IMPORTANT IN LIFE, BUT ALSO IN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. STUDIES SHOW THAT CHILDREN DO BETTER IN SCHOOL WHEN THEY ARE SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY COMPETENT. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CURRICULUM IS VIEWED AS A SOCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL PATH TO A NO-KILL NATION, A PATH THAT WILL LEAD TO THE ADOPTION OF A DOG OR CAT FROM A SHELTER AS THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE CHOICE FOR YOUNG ADULTS TO MAKE.

    Expenses $5,906,456 · Grants $32,300 · Revenue $13,855

  • THE LEAGUE OPERATES A SMALL PET STORE FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF ITS ADOPTERS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
