Tour For Life 2009

Since 2001, the North Shore Animal League has traveled around the nation in a “Tour For Life” campaign which is the largest cooperative pet adoption event. The goal is to find homes for hundreds of orphaned dogs, cats, puppies and kittens along with raising public awareness of the life these shelter animals live.

The tour stops in more than 20 cities across America. This year’s spokesperson is Kathryn Erbe from the TV show, Law and Order: Criminal Intent. This year the tour celebrates mixed breed dogs to help awareness of American Mutt-i-grees Club, AMC, which promotes shelter adoptions discouraging pet’s being purchased by retailers who are supplied by puppy mills. The tour lasts until mid April and is co-sponsored by Purina.
