SPCA International’s Apollo’s Aid is named after a heroic dog named Apollo, who suffered from severe abuse before SPCA International rescued him through their Patriot Pets program in 2018. Due to his past injuries, Apollo required significant medical care, which he received with the help of SPCAI’s dedicated team, his devoted family, and veterinary professionals. Apollo has since passed on, but his legacy lives on through the program, which helps military and refugee families stay united with their beloved pets while ensuring they receive the care they need to live healthy, happy lives.

Update: Permanent Change of Station Support
After over a decade of helping over 1,000 military families keep their pets during PCS moves, SPCA International is ending the Permanent Change of Station portion of the Apollo’s Aid program due to a significant milestone: the U.S. military now offers financial aid for pet relocation as part of PCS orders, both domestically and internationally. This exciting development eliminates the need for this arm of our grant program, and while we’re proud of the program’s impact, we’re also grateful to our supporters who made it possible.
