At SPCA International, we know that even the smallest steps can lead to big change, and thanks to our incredible partnership with the WeWard App, that change has been life-saving for both people and pets in need.
What is WeWard?
WeWard is a mobile app that tracks your steps and turns them into points, which users can redeem for donations to causes they care about. By simply walking, running errands, or enjoying a stroll through the park with their pet, WeWard users can make a real difference. And recently, they did exactly that—raising an amazing $5,000 for our PAWsitive Recovery program.
PAWsitive Recovery
Our PAWsitive Recovery program supports people facing addiction, mental health struggles, and escaping domestic violence, by providing loving foster homes for their pets while they focus on healing. Our program removes the heartbreaking choice between getting help and keeping a beloved animal, ensuring families can be reunited once their human is back on their feet.
Through PAWsitive Recovery we have been able to help hundreds of individuals and their pets. One of those wonderful animals is Babygirl, a sweet dog with a big heart and an unshakable bond with her owner. Babygirl’s person has faced unimaginable challenges. She survived abuse, battled substance use disorder, and fought serious illness. Through it all, Babygirl was a constant source of comfort, love, and hope.
When her owner made the courageous decision to enter treatment and rebuild her life, she turned to us to ensure Babygirl would be safe and cared for. Thanks to the support of donors and the funds raised through WeWard, we were able to place Babygirl in a loving foster home, giving her owner the peace of mind she needed to focus fully on recovery.
Today, we are thrilled to share that Babygirl’s owner has successfully completed treatment, is making incredible strides, and is reunited with her beloved companion. Together, they’re stepping into a new chapter filled with hope and happiness.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to WeWard and every single person who walked, ran, and moved for a cause. Your steps have directly helped people and pets stay together, even through the toughest times. We are so grateful for your compassion and commitment. We can’t wait to see how many more lives we can change, one step at a time.
