Our unique None Left Behind (NLB) program helps reduce barriers to adoption of special-needs pets. This includes animals with chronic medical conditions, behavioral issues, advanced age or simply a significantly-long tenure in our shelter. For animals in the NLB program, the League waives the adoption fees and reimburses adopters for all post-adoption medical expenses and special food needs related to an animals NLB condition.
