Programs

SPCA International operates a variety of outreach, rescue and educational programs. Each program is designed not only to begin our own lifesaving efforts, but also to help empower and assist animal activists already operating on the front lines of their communities to save lives. SPCA International has educated hundreds of thousands of people through our outreach initiatives and we continue to have an impact daily through the following programs:

	Shelter Programs: SPCA International shows its support at the local level every month by awarding multiple cash grants to needy shelters. This money goes a long way to help the shelters improve their physical condition, enhance their spay and neuter programs, and ultimately reduce euthanasia rates. SPCA International supports animal welfare organizations with two different types of grants – Shelter of the Week and Emergency.
	Operation Baghdad Pups Program: This program aids our troops by safely transporting the animals they befriend in the war zone home to the U.S. Operation Baghdad Pups is a logistically challenging program, but it does more than save animals - it also brings comfort, peace of mind and relief to our U.S. soldiers serving overseas. SPCA International receives at least three to four new requests from soldiers, sailors and Marines every week.
	SPCA Answers Program: This program serves as an information hub and a referral resource for animal lovers throughout the world. SPCA Answers connects people with local shelters, helps initiate cruelty investigations, assists animal advocates in their fight against cruelty, offers individual support for people dealing with unique situations, and much more.
	Cruelty Crime Stopper Rewards: This program offers cash rewards as an incentive to bring more animal abusers to justice across the globe. Local authorities often are left empty-handed when searching for leads in cruelty investigations. Cruelty Crime Stopper Rewards aims to encourage people with information to come forward and help convict animal cruelty criminals and deter others from committing cruel acts against animals.
