Nurturing Compassion

NCAL’s mission is to promote the culture of compassion for all beings in our community. This is why NCAL offers many opportunities for public members to interact with animals and learn about the homeless pet population issue, as well as solutions to address the problem through our education and outreach programs.

Current Opportunities

NCAL believes that a mind we help shape today is one who will help us create a more compassionate tomorrow. We are committed to providing humane education programs both at the shelter as well as offsite locations to nurture young ambassadors to become voices for animals in our community and beyond.
