San Diego, California, United States

Daily Hugz is the largest animal sanctuary in the West Bank, offering shelter to homeless and abused animals and providing a safe play environment for children in Palestine. Their mission is to create and promote a space where all life matters by serving the most underprivileged members of society and allowing them to interact with nature and rescued animals.

When the conflict between Israel and Hamas erupted, the animals at Daily Hugz were in immediate danger. With roadblocks and new restrictions, the team at Daily Hugz struggled to secure the necessary food and medical care for the animals. Faced with these challenges, the sanctuary made the heartbreaking decision to close its doors, prioritizing the safety of the 65 dogs in their care.

Without hesitation, SPCA International stepped in to assist with this critical mission. After weeks of meticulous planning, our team successfully transported the 65 dogs from Palestine to the United States. Once the dogs had a chance to decompress, they traveled across the country to partner shelters, foster homes, and, eventually, forever homes.
We are honored to have supported Daily Hugz in this vital rescue mission. Thanks to their dedication, these animals have a second chance at a happy, healthy life.

Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States

The mission of Fayetteville Animal Protection Society, Inc. (FAPS) is to provide a licensed, No-Kill shelter for homeless animals until they are adopted into a loving and caring lifetime environment, to reduce the population of stray animals, and to promote responsible pet ownership. As a part of this mission, they rescue animals from county shelters, placing animals too young for adoption or needing medical care into foster homes where they receive care and love until they are ready for adoption. North Carolina ranks 9th in population and 3rd in animals euthanized. Therefore FAPS tend to put their saving efforts into the county shelters where animals are at the most risk of euthanasia.

Ensuring their shelter’s environment remains safe, clean, and comfortable for all its residents is paramount to them. This involves regular facility maintenance, cleanliness protocols, and procuring necessary supplies and equipment. Beyond their on-the-ground efforts, FAPS also leverages their active social media presence to advocate for animal rights, educate the public about the challenges faced by abandoned or mistreated animals, and highlight the joys of adopting pets from shelters. We are honored to call them our partners and to provide them with the necessary aid to maintain their shelter operations and continue to save countless lives.
