Over the last decade, Sasha’s Shelter has saved over 1,100 dogs in Nis, Serbia. The majority of the dogs were rescued from cruel conditions, had suffered abuse, and were on the verge of death. Sasha’s Shelter currently houses 750 dogs and understands the critical role sterilization has in managing the stray animal population. They are committed to spaying and neutering all animals under their care, as well as providing sterilization and vaccination services to owned animals that would otherwise not be able to receive these services.

While Peace for Paws has a mission to save every dog in Eastern Europe, they are currently focusing their efforts in Georgia, where there are an estimated 40,000 stray dogs living in extremely impoverished conditions. Peace for Paws helps an average of 500 animals per year, and currently has 100 dogs in their care. To be able to aid even more animals in need, they are working towards building an animal sanctuary where the animals will have a safe environment to heal until they find permanent homes. Peace for Paws also plans to educate the community on the importance of spaying/neutering and the benefits of adopting a pet.

After hearing of Peace for Paws’ commitment to the stray animal population, SPCA International is proud to support their work and aid them in helping more animals in need.

The Street Dog Coalition was founded in 2015 with the mission to provide free medical care and related services to the pets of people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. From the beginning, they have been committed to protecting the human-animal bond and caring for the lives on both ends of the leash. With an all-volunteer veterinary team in 50 cities across the country, The Street Dog Coalition provides pop-up clinics under bridges, in encampments, in parking lots, and wherever necessary.

SPCA International is honored to support The Street Dog Coalition as they provide much-needed veterinary care to the countless pets of refugees arriving at the Ukraine-Romania border as well as their incredible ongoing efforts to improve the lives of animals and people in need.

Paws Unite People is a non-profit organization based in New York dedicated to supporting abused and neglected animals as well as the people who love and care for them all over the world. They offer a wide range of programs that benefit both people and animals and are committed to being a resource to the community by providing assistance, training, and education. Through Luna’s House, their rehabilitation facility, they are able to shelter abused and neglected animals, train those that are appropriate to become therapy animals and provide a safe and supportive environment for adults with special needs to visit and work with the animals. They believe that animals do best when they are not confined, and so, the cats reside in a center where they are able to free-roam, while the dogs at the center have their own rooms with their own couches.

After hearing of the work being done by Paws Unite People and their commitment to helping the former veterinary staff that cared for the animals rescued in Afghanistan, SPCA International wanted to lend them a helping hand with this important mission.

Despite having limited resources, One Love Refuge is committed to helping as many animals in need as possible. Their mission is to give animals a voice and a forever home. They are working towards one day opening a shelter with an in-house vet to be able to save even more animals.

Since 2000, Gostomel Shelter has been dedicated to rescuing and finding permanent housing for stray animals in Ukraine. In 2006, the shelter established a veterinary hospital and rehabilitation center, which is now the largest in Ukraine. Gostomel Shelter has over 700 animals in their care, many of whom have suffered abuse and neglect. Since its inception, the shelter has been advocating for animal rights and educating people in the region about why and how to treat animals with dignity and respect. They recognize that one of the biggest obstacles to their mission of finding loving homes for the animals is the negative public perception of strays. The staff and volunteers work tirelessly around the clock to lobby for the sterilization of strays as a humane method of population control that would benefit both animals and the community.

SPCA International applauds the work being done by Gostomel Shelter despite the damage, destruction, and obstacles created by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We are proud to support their efforts as they continue to rescue and rehabilitate animals in these difficult times.

On average, more than 1,300 animals pass through the doors of OPHS on their way to their new forever homes. As a no-kill shelter, no animals are turned away.

After hearing that OPHS wanted to expand their services to offer low-cost spay/neuter services to the community, SPCA International partnered with them to help make it a reality.
