At SPCA International, we believe real change for animals starts in the community. That’s why we’re so excited to share that we’ve given a $100,000 grant to our amazing partner, Korean K9 Rescue, for their new program, Operation 1M.
Operation 1M has one clear goal: to bring compassionate, practical solutions to rural communities that need them most.
In these areas, dogs are often kept on short chains and used as guard dogs. Many families care about their animals but don’t have access to veterinary care or lack the education to provide proper animal care. Operation 1M steps in with support, not judgment. The team works with families in ways that build trust and create lasting change.
Through this initiative, a dedicated team of volunteers provides:
- Free spay and neuter services to reduce overpopulation
- Ongoing veterinary care to keep dogs healthy
- Weather-resistant dog houses to protect dogs from harsh conditions
- Pulley systems that replace short chains, allowing dogs more room to move safely
These changes may seem simple, but they make a huge difference. Dogs are safer, healthier, and much happier.
Education is at the heart of Operation 1M. The team works closely with families, sharing humane animal care practices in respectful ways that respect local traditions. This helps create real change that will last for years.
We are proud to support Korean K9 Rescue and their work through Operation 1M. Together, we’re not just helping dogs today. We’re helping build a future where every dog is treated with care and respect.
