What is the difference between NLOL and an animal rescue or shelter?
An animal shelter is a facility that houses homeless animals, either as a non-profit or a government-funded agency. Many animal shelters provide adoption services, while some government-run shelters only house animals caught running at large and euthanize them if they are not claimed by a caretaker. A rescue typically operates as a network of foster homes or a centralized shelter, performing adoptions using the Internet and/or adoption sites. NLOL is an animal welfare agency that offers sheltering services, but we also offer a range of other programs, such as spay/neuter services and education. We operate a shelter (Almost Home Pet Adoption Center) and have a network of foster homes, but this is only one of the organization’s programs and a part of its mission. About New Leash on Life: New Leash on Life (NLOL) is dedicated to improving the welfare of companion animals in our community through shelter, placement, spay/neuter services, education and awareness.
