Asociatia Care for Dogs Romania was founded with a mission to rescue as many animals as possible from the streets or from high kill shelters. The founder, Delia, and her team have been working for over 4 years to protect and improve the lives of dogs in the Brasov area.

Care for Dogs runs a small private shelter where they care for approximately 200 dogs at any given time, and at times cats as well. The indoor/outdoor shelter enables Care for Dogs to provide high-quality care year-round, and the outdoor enclosure provides an opportunity to socialize their shelter dogs before adoption.

The Care for Dogs team also believes in spay/neuter and have a sterilization campaign in Brasov and the surrounding towns so that the rate of abandonment decreases. They also educate the youth about the responsibilities of having a pet and the importance of spay and neuter, to help raise awareness.

SPCA International is proud to support Asociatia Care for Dogs Romania as they continue to grow and look to expand their shelter to allow future care for farm animals.

Furget-Me-Not Sanctuary has been providing compassionate care, sheltering, and spay/neuter programs for the soi dogs (Thai street dogs) in Thailand for over 15 years. When Founder Soot Liang Woo moved to Thailand, she was deeply moved by the incredible number of soi dogs. Unable to ignore this issue, Soot began to catch dogs individually, arranging and self-funding spaying and neutering operations for each one.

Over the last 4 years, Soot has volunteered her time daily to trap, neuter, and release (TNR), reaching over 93,000 dogs and cats in Thailand. Recently, Soot purchased a large piece of land in Kanchanaburi; a beautiful place where rescued dogs that are not unable to be rehomed can live in safe and sanitary conditions. At the Furget-Me-Not Sanctuary, they can enjoy wide open, green spaces where they are well-fed, cared for and loved.

SPCA International is proud to support Soot and the Furget-Me-Not Sanctuary as they continue their incredible efforts to protect and rescue the soi dogs of Thailand.

Delhi the Street Dog Foundation was established in 2018 to help address the overwhelming street dog population in India. While traveling through India, founder Jessica Haltzman crossed paths with so many loving street dogs that deserved a chance to find their forever homes. She also found and adopted an injured puppy, whom she named Delhi. Becoming a team with Delhi inspired Jessica to create a foundation in hopes of giving Indian street dogs the chance at a new life.

Delhi the Street Dog Foundation primarily partners with Indian rescue organizations to provide safe transport for adoptable dogs from India to the United States where they can find a home with a loving family. The organization also strongly promotes spay and neuter to humanely manage the street dog population. Sine 2018, they have sterilized over 1,600 dogs.

SPCA International is proud to support Delhi the Street Dog Foundation as they continue to grow and positively impact the lives of Indian street dogs.

Southwest Coast SPCA was established in 2012 to help protect animals from suffering across the Southwestern region of Newfoundland.

Southwest Coast SPCA strives to provide leadership in their region by creating an understanding of animal welfare issues; their volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the humane treatment of animals. They shelter dogs and cats that are in need and practice trap, neuter and release (TNR) programs for community cats while finding loving homes for their adoptable animals.  During the winter months, when kittens are rarely born outside, the team at Southwest Coast switches their focus to a low-cost spay/neuter program. Through this program, they operate affordable spay and neuter clinics for community residents, many of whom are seniors or pet owners who are living on a fixed income.

SPCA International is proud to support Southwest Coast SPCA in their effort to provide valuable resources to their community and provide better welfare to the abandoned, homeless and abused animals throughout their region.

SOS Algarve Animals was established in 2012 with a goal to sterilize abandoned cats and dogs, and to provide affordable spay and neuter to low-income families.

The team at SOS Algarve Animals strongly believes in sterilization, and on average, spays and neuters over 1,000 cats and dogs each year. While they do not have their own animal shelter, they highlight the animal shelters in their local communities and give a profile about the shelter’s operations, the animals in their care, and how the public can help.

SOS Algarve seeks to continue their work in sterilization and set up a trap-neuter-release program for colony cats in their region. SPCA International is proud to support SOS Algarve Animals in this endeavor and we affirm their strong belief in sterilization as a humane stray animal population management tool.

Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary was established in June 2019 by Christine Askew and her husband Robie Bernardo with a vision to help the neglected, abused and abandoned animals in Dumaguete.

Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary now cares for 30 dogs with two full-time caretakers who live on site. They rely entirely on the generosity of the public to maintain the sanctuary, where they currently only rescue animals who are in severe need of assistance. All animals in their care receive veterinary treatment and are spayed or neutered. The team at Dumaguete are now working to start a free spay and neuter program for indigenous and low-income local families, to help humanely manage the stray population.

SPCA International is proud to support Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary as they continue to expand their operations and help create a brighter future for stray animals in their community.

The Humane Society of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) was established in 1975 to promote animal welfare, preserve wildlife, and prevent cruelty in any form. This organization was created by members of the BVI community and has run the only animal shelter in the BVI for the last 45 years.

The shelter at the Humane Society of the BVI houses dogs and cats who have been abandoned and, in some cases, severely mistreated and abused. The organization strongly believes in sterilization, and ensures that every adopted animal will leave their shelter spayed or neutered. Members of their team also coordinate workshops to educate local children on how to take care of animals.

SPCA International is proud to support the Humane Society of the BVI as they continue to ensure kindness and consideration for all animals in the Territory of the British Virgin Islands.

Animal Balance formed in 2004 to address the escalating cat and dog populations on the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Working directly with the community, they created a ‘community-based sterilization program’ and by 2008, they had sterilized 80% of the dogs on the four human-inhabited islands.

After the success of the Galapagos program, Animal Balance began deploying veterinary teams to islands all over the world. Using Mobile Animal Sterilization Hospitals (MASH), they have helped stop the use of lethal methods to control animal populations by training local veterinarians in the fast and safe spay/neuter technique. This enables each island to create a sustainable and humane animal management program.

In 2019, the team started Animal Balance USA, through which they target the highest kill shelters in the US and send in veterinary teams to sterilize animals so they may be adopted rather than euthanized.

SPCA International is proud to support this incredible organization and to help them continue their work on the Galapagos Islands, providing a sustainable, humane animal management program.
