Every year, North Shore Animal League America travels the nation bringing 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 plights of all shelter pets.

Stopping in more than 20 U.S. cities to help save pets' lives across America, Tour for Life is the League's month-long cooperative initiative with animal shelters 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, North Shore Animal League America was happy to have Grammy Award-winning singer, actress and devoted animal owner and enthusiast, Mýa as the Tour for Life spokesperson.

Tour for Life hit the road on April 2nd, 2008 as two of the League's Mobile Adoption Units traveled two cross-country routes simultaneously. On Saturday April 26, 2008, Tour for Life ended with a "Grand Finale" event hosted by Mýa at FAO Schwarz in New York City, where celebrities were perched in the world-famous toy store windows with frolicking puppies.
