Each June, the North Shore Animal Leauge stays open for 36 hours during its Annual Pet Adoptathon event. The first Adoptathon was held in 1995, with the hopes of increasing the
number of permanent, loving homes the shelter could provide for their rescue animals. To date, Adoptathon has helped find homes for nearly 500,000 animals, making June the shelter's
most popular month for adoptions. The North Shore Animal League also sees a significant spike in adoptions during the holidays, starting on Thanksgiving and continuing through New
Year’s Day, says Kathleen Lynn, Director of Communications.
