Every year, the North Shore Animal League of America travels across the nation taking its life-saving mission on the road to help find homes for hundreds of orphaned dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens, and to raise public awareness concerning the plight of all of America's shelter pets.
Stopping in more than 20 U.S. cities to help save pets' lives, Tour for Life is the Animal League's month-long cooperative initiative with animal shelters all across the country.
Since its inception in 2001, Tour for Life has been promoting the importance of adopting shelter dogs and cats as a life-saving measure.
This year, the Animal League has as their spokesperson Kathryn Erbe, star of Law and Order: Criminal Intent and also the spokesperson for the American Mutt-i-grees Club (AMC).
And since its inception in 2001, Tour for Life, in partnership with Purina, has placed thousands of homeless animals with loving families.
This year, the tour is celebrating mixed breed dogs (my favorite kind), helping to advance the mission of the American Mutt-i-grees Club, which promotes shelter adoptions, and discourages purchasing pets from retailers supplied by puppy mills.

TO GEORGE - I would be so bold as to suggest that - just like the highly over-paid people
who think they are bluebloods - driving porsches, beamers, and yachts - their children simply must have pets with PAPERS - they are too high and mighty for plain MUTTS!
Tom.
Bless You! Jasmin Horst
