From May 6 to 13, North Shore Animal League America (NSALA) will hold its 29th annual Global Pet Adoptathon at its site in Port Washington. The month-long initiative, in collaboration with Rachael Ray Nutrish, is dedicated to helping animals locally, nationally, and internationally find loving homes. In order to preserve the lives of homeless animals, more than 2,000 animal shelters and rescue organizations will also take part in the Global Pet Adoptathon throughout the month of May.

Finding caring, responsible homes for animals who have been rescued locally, nationally, and internationally is the main goal of this annual, month-long program. It also honors the committed global community that promotes and supports animal adoption and rescue.

The most variety and animals will be available for adoption at NSALA’s adoption facility thanks to the 2023 Global Pet Adoptathon. Numerous dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens of various breeds, ages, and sizes will be present.

The New York Mets mascot Mr. Met will make a special appearance on opening weekend, starting on Saturday, May 6, when NSALA will stage exciting events to kick off the occasion. May 6 and 7 will see an extension of hours.

Additionally, there will be interactive photo booths, outdoor activities like Jenga and corn hole, arts and crafts, food, and drinks. Additionally, there will be a dog park meet and greet for households welcoming new pets.
