ADAN runs two animal shelters, one for dogs (Le Dispensaire des Chiens) and one for cats (La Maison des Chats). They currently care for over 200 dogs and treat as many animals as their resources allow.

Dogs and Cats of the Dominican Republic (DCDR) was founded in 2013 when a number of friends decided to coordinate their efforts to help the animals on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Their mission is to improve the welfare of the Coconut Hounds and Cats living in the country.

DCDR operates a foster/adoption program, but a large portion of their work is with their community outreach. Through the Community Outreach Program, they provide preventive medicines and treatments in poor areas, providing help to people who love their dogs and cats as much as anyone else. Thanks to their extensive network and passionate team, they are able to provide preventive care to nearly 1,000 animals every single month of the year. DCDR also operates a mobile clinic, the Rescue Rover, to perform free spay and neuter clinics for needy animals. By partnering with qualified, volunteer veterinarians, DCDR is able to perform over 1,000 sterilization surgeries every year.

Founded in 2000, the mission of Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society (LAWCS) is to create a caring and socially responsible environment, where animals and people live in harmony. At the time of their conception, LAWCS was considered a revolutionary initiative, because the concept of animal welfare in Liberia is still a new phenomenon.

LAWCS strives to prevent cruelty to animals, to awaken interest and compassion for animals, promote a vegetarian lifestyle, and engage the public and spread knowledge concerning animals and the environment. Their volunteer-driven team conducts regular rabies vaccine clinics in rural Liberia, where they also provide veterinary care to help improve the welfare and health of both the pets and the people in the community. LAWCS also operates a humane education program, which was able to provide opportunities for over 2,000 children in 42 schools to discover their innate love and passion for animals.

SPCA International is proud to support Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society as they continue to help improve the health and wellbeing of animals, their community, and the environment.

Animal Love was founded on the belief that all animals deserve respectful and loving treatment and must be protected by both humans and the law. They are a non-profit, no-kill rescue organization in Costa Rica with a shelter housing over 700 animals including cats, dogs, horses, geese, ducks, goats, sheep and hens.

Whenever the team at Animal Love comes across animals in need, they act to prevent further suffering and help give them a safe, loving home.  Any homeless, injured or sick animals who find their way to their rescue center receive medical attention and care, and become a part of the Animal Love family for life.

At the rescue center, each animal receives health and nutrition checks, mood observation and constant cleaning of their living areas. Since Animal Love started operations as an animal shelter, they have received more than 100 animals per year. Since they started, they have helped more than 3,000 animals in need.

SPCA International is proud to support Animal Love and their vision to create a future where no single creature will be without a loving home.
