Through education, awareness, adoption and compassion, the mission of The Animal League is to reduce and prevent animal abuse, neglect and homelessness in our community and beyond.

The Animal League was established in 1988 to help the abused, abandoned, and neglected animals of Lake County. Started on a non-existent budget by a small group of animal lovers committed to a no-kill policy, the organization soon became an important presence in the growing South Lake area. Our organization places approximately 1,000 pets in loving homes each year. Despite the remarkable growth and change over the years, The Animal League has never lost sight of its original goal -- to maintain a no kill policy while helping the abused, abandoned, and neglected animals in the community.

We:- act for the community as an advocate on behalf of animals.- provide for the well-being of animals who are abandoned, injured, subjected to unfair or cruel treatment, or otherwise in need.- provide shelter for these animals.- maintain a "no kill" policy.- serve the citizens and animals of our community by sponsoring related public health programs and upholding the laws enacted for their protection.- educate the public on responsible pet ownership including prevention of over-population by spay and neutering.

The Animal League is known statewide for its many unique and heart-warming success stories. Every animal that comes into The Animal League's care receives the best routine and specialized veterinary care, is spayed or neutered, and microchipped. The Animal League started as a grassroots effort to rescue animals in Lake County. Since then we've just kept going. The Animal League is a no-kill shelter. We rescue pets from County shelters that are about to be euthanized, injured, or pregnant. We are often their last hope.
