Animals of Our World is a non-speciesist rescue, and vegan organization dedicated to ending/preventing animal suffering. They are the only physical shelter in Siem Reap and provide a safe haven to over 100 animals rescued from neglect and abuse. Their work involves rehabilitating rescued stray animals, funding medical treatment for animals in need, supporting poverty-stricken local families to treat their sick and injured animals, and prevention work including vaccinations, deworming, and sterilization to prevent the spread of disease and more animals from being born into suffering on the street.

SPCA International is proud to support Animals of Our World and help them improve the lives of abandoned animals and the community.

Since its inception in 2013, Angels Garden has rescued 3,000 dogs and 200 cats in Greece, predominantly in the Xànthi area. In Xànthi alone, there are approximately 5000 stray dogs. These dogs are at risk of being abused and even poisoned every single day. Unfortunately, Greece’s animal welfare laws are minimal and rarely enforced. This enables people to simply abandon their animals in dreadful conditions, and let them die a slow and painful death on the streets. 

Angels Garden’s mission is to rescue abused, sick, or abandoned stray animals and find loving families to adopt them. They also have a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program to sterilize street dogs and humanely prevent animal overpopulation. 

SPCA International is proud to be helping Angels Garden expand its sterilization program to improve the quality of life of stray animals and the community.

Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) was established in 2001 to fight against animal injustices and provide rescue and rehabilitation and life-long care and shelter to animals in need. Since then, WFFT has rescued thousands of animals from situations of abuse, neglect, or injury.  WFFT focuses on rescuing animals from terrible situations of abuse including the illegal pet trade, animals being used as photo props and from ‘zoos’, the tourism/logging industry, and animals orphaned as a result of human-wildlife conflict. Today, WFFT provides shelter to more than 700 rescued animals and provides free veterinary care to cats and dogs in need.

SPCA International is proud to support Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand, and with your help, WFFT can continue to strive towards a brighter future for Thailands’ abundant wildlife.

Sorrento Coast Animal Rescue is a non-profit animal rescue organization dedicated to helping abandoned street animals. They aid the stray animal population by providing food and veterinary care as well as running trap-neuter-release (TNR) programs. When appropriate, they help find permanent homes for abandoned animals. On average they are able to aid 400 animals per year. 

Because Sorrento relies heavily on tourism, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the quality of life of local animals. With owned pets being abandoned on the street, the number of street animals in need has significantly increased, making Sorrento Coast Animal Rescue’s work more critical than ever. 

SPCA International is proud to support Sorrento Coast Animal Rescue’s sterilization efforts and help them improve the lives of abandoned animals and the community.

Since 2016, Hoedspruit Animal Outreach (HALO) has been improving the lives of community dogs in the rural communities around Hoedspruit. These impoverished communities have no veterinary facilities and the well-being of the dogs is totally dependent on HALO. They help an average of 3,500 dogs in the five communities they serve: LeBoeng, Tswenyane, Manoutsa, Willows, and The Oaks. All these communities are surrounded by nature reserves, where animals like leopards, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, and lions roam freely. Because rabies is still a big concern in these communities, their vaccination program is of huge importance for domestic animals, their owners, and wildlife. 

HALO also conducts weekly outreach in the communities where owners bring in their dogs for a veterinary check. All dogs brought by the owners receive free vaccinations, deworming, and treatment against external parasites. Dogs that need further treatment are taken to the HALO camp. 

SPCA International applauds the work done by HALO, and after hearing that they needed help relocating their facility in order to continue serving the community, we knew we had to help. We are proud to support their work and enable them to aid the animals and people who need it most.

Operating in Northern Uganda, an area still recovering from 20 years of war, Big Fix Uganda is committed to improving the health and welfare of animals and creating positive human-animal bonds in the community. They are the only veterinary hospital in Northern Uganda and provide free essential services including animal medical care, rabies vaccinations clinics, and spay and neutering services. Committed to improving the treatment of animals in the community through humane education, Big Fix Uganda does substantial community outreach by visiting schools, broadcasting about the proper treatment of animals on the radio, and providing resources to local pet owners in need. 

Big Fix Uganda also runs the Comfort Dog Project program which uses the powerful healing power of dog companionship to help war trauma survivors as part of a program of psycho-social rehabilitation. Dogs in need of good homes are rehabilitated by the Big Fix Uganda team, temperament tested, spayed/ neutered, then placed with war trauma survivors. The guardians make a lifetime commitment to their dogs, live with and care for their dogs, and participate in a weekly training program.

SPCA International recognizes how critical Big Fix Uganda’s work is to their community, and after hearing that they wanted to expand their sterilization services, SPCA International partnered with them to help make it a reality.

Katie’s Place Animal Shelter is a no-kill, volunteer-run animal shelter. They specialize in the care and re-homing of senior, medically compromised, and behaviorally challenged cats that would otherwise have nowhere to go. Katie’s Place believes every animal deserves a loving home, which is why they have a permanent foster program for senior cats or cats with lifelong health conditions. Under this program, the cats live with their foster families permanently, and the shelter covers the costs of their veterinary care, which often prevents these animals from finding forever homes.

Katie’s Place is also committed to managing the stray cat population. They have an extensive trap-neuter-return (TNR) program. They also offer free spay and neuter services to pet owners in need.

SPCA International applauds Katie’s Place’s commitment to the well-being of special needs cats. We are proud to have partnered with them during Mission Possible and to continue to support their ongoing work.

Jai Dog Rescue is a non-profit rescue organization dedicated to transforming the lives of street dogs in rural Thailand. They work tirelessly to break the cycle of stray dogs suffering via Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) projects, rescue and rehabilitation, community aid, and shelter and adoptions. Jai Dog is committed to ending the stigma that surrounds rescue animals and encourages local adoptions, offering adopters full support throughout the process. 

Jai Dog Rescue also operates The Farm, a sanctuary that produces mango, rice, and santon crops and is home to 85 street dogs with special needs. The Farm serves as a calm place for animals to decompress and rehabilitate before finding loving homes. In some cases, animals become permanent residents of The Farm, where they can roam and play freely. 

SPCA International applauds the work done by Jai Dog Rescue, and after hearing that they wanted to expand their emergency rescue services, SPCA International partnered with them to help make it a reality.
