Operation Baghdad Pups Hundreds of U.S. troops serving in the Middle East befriend animals in the war zone in order to cope with the hardship and terror they face every day.  Unfortunately, it is against military regulations for active duty personnel to care for an animal, let alone bring it home using military resources.  U.S. troops need your help!  Learn about the program and how you can help support U.S. troops and their loyal pets.

Your donation will make a difference!

U.S. troops in the Middle East have no way to transport home the animals they befriend in the war zone.  Your contribution to this effort is a way to say thank you for their service. Your donation of $20 can provide absorbent pads, food and water for a dog or cat while they travel; $75 can buy an airline crate for transport; $150 can cover the cost of vaccinations and travel paperwork. Donate Now!

Spay_Neuter

Cats are often surrendered and euthanized because of low cat adoption rates and limited space, but sometimes it takes just one more day, one more week, one more month for a cat to find a forever home. Just $10 can provide food and refuge for one more cat for one more day; $70 can support one cat for one more week; $300 can support it for an entire month. Donate Now!

Shelters and rescue groups across the globe face unexpected emergencies every day – fire, burglary, natural disasters, or an influx of animals from a hording or abuse confiscation.  Without help from an SPCA International emergency grant, animals often have to die when a shelter is hit by such an emergency.  Your donation of $25, $50 or $100 can provide grant relief to a shelter experiencing these difficult times. Donate Now!

Spay_Neuter

An unspayed cat and her offspring can produce more than 400,000 cats.  An unspayed dog and her offspring can produce over 6,000 puppies. SPCA International supports free and low-cost spay and neuter clinics worldwide.  Your donation of $75 can neuter a low-income family’s male cat; $100 can spay their female cat; $100 can help neuter their male dog; $125 can spay their female dog.
