Have you ever thought about adopting a homeless pet? If you live in the New York area, the North Shore Animal League is a great organization to check out. The Doctor’s Channel visits the North Shore Animal League’s Adopt-a-Thon 2009. By the end of the day, over 700 dogs and cats found their “forever homes.” Since 1995, the Pet Adoptathon has helped over a quarter of a million dogs, cats, puppies and kittens around the world find new, loving homes.
