More Than 2,000 Animal Shelters & Rescue Groups, Nationally and Internationally, Taking Part with Shared Purpose of Finding Loving Homes for Dogs, Cats, Puppies, and Kittens

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- North Shore Animal League America - the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization – and more than 2,000 of their shelter and rescue partners, nationally and internationally - are kicking off their 31^st Annual Global Pet Adoptathon®.  This month-long initiative, sponsored by Swiffer® with support from Nutrish™, is dedicated to finding loving, responsible homes for the thousands of available dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens – of all ages, breeds, and sizes - in their care.

"Global Pet Adoptathon highlights the importance of rescue and adoption," said Joanne Yohannan, SVP., Operations, North Shore Animal League America. "It brings us together with our vast network of shelter partners, who all share the common goal of finding loving, responsible homes for the many animals in need. With the heartfelt support from forward-thinking partners like Swiffer, we can continue to focus on our mission to Rescue, Nurture, Adopt, and Educate."

"We're delighted to once again sponsor North Shore Animal League America's Global Pet Adoptathon," said KaNeeTa Kimble, Swiffer Senior Brand Director, Procter & Gamble. "Finding pets loving new homes is something to be celebrated, and we know it can come with plenty of messes, such as hair, fur, muddy paw prints and more. At Swiffer, we're here to help make those everyday cleanups effortless, so pet parents can spend more time enjoying the moments that matter with their pets." 

Animal League America rescues locally, nationally and internationally, and partners with rescue groups and shelter partners nationwide, as well as city and county municipal animal care and control agencies, to promote animal adoption as the best option when deciding to  add a pet to your home and life.

Participating shelter partners are based in major cities and smaller towns. Throughout May, each group will be celebrating Global Pet Adoptathon with their own events, adoption specials, and local promotions. Swiffer has provided its Sweeper and Duster Starter Kits inclusive of Heavy Duty Dry and Wet Cloths for new adopters at select local adoption centers. Animal League America collaborates with each to help garner local media, and social media, attention with the shared message of choosing animal adoption. 

North Shore Animal League America has been saving animals lives for more than 80 years. To date, they've saved more than 1.2 million lives.
