Columbus, Georgia, United States

Paws Humane Society is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of both animals and people by serving as a solution-based community resource for animal welfare. They provide high-volume and high-quality spay and neuter services, rescue and adoption services, volunteer opportunities, outreach, and education. Every year, they help approximately 2,000 homeless animals find forever homes. Through their Neighborhood Pet Support program, they aid struggling families so that they can continue caring for their pets rather than surrendering them to a local shelter. They also provide emergency relief aid during natural disasters.

US Dog Coalition & Rescue rescues, feeds, and assists in the spaying and neutering of street dogs living in the Copper Canyon region of Mexico. They are actively working on building the first-ever shelter in Creel, Chihuahua Mexico, a region where the closest veterinarian is more than 2 hours away.

The communities in which US Dog Coalition & Rescue operates are incredibly poor and filled with people who do not have the means to assist the animals in need. The thousands of street dogs in the region depend on the team at US Dog Coalition & Rescue to survive. Without they would have no access to essential resources such as food or basic medical care.

US Dog Coalition & Rescue want to utilize the shelter they are constructing to not only serve to save the lives of many more street dogs but to educate the public and perform community outreach. Currently, much of the community sees stray dogs as nuisances, US Dog Coalition is hopeful that with education, they can change the way much of the community views these stray animals.

SPCA International is proud to support US Dog Coalition & Rescue in their efforts to improve the lives of stray animals in Mexico.

Sanski Most, Bosnia, Bosnia

SRCE ZA ŠAPU was founded in 2015, as a spontaneous response to the critical condition of abandoned dogs in Sanski Most, Bosnia. Its mission is to save abandoned dogs from hunger, disease, loneliness, fear, and lack of human love that every dog needs so much, and to enable them a safe, healthy, and happy life.

In addition to the activities directly related to running a dog shelter (nutrition, maintaining hygiene, health care, vaccination, sterilization and micro-chipping, facility maintenance and repairs, dog adoption, and most importantly, giving love to dogs), SRCE ZA ŠAPU conducts advocacy activities focused on government and the general public. These include sending written requests and complaints to the authorities, promo clips on social networks, local media and city displays, and organizing citizens’ protests. These activities are a direct response to the lack of government support and action, despite the enactment of the Animal Protection Act more than a decade ago.

SPCA International is proud to support SRCE ZA ŠAPU in their efforts to improve the lives of stray animals in their community.

Caribbean Spay Neuter (CSN) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to curb the massive overpopulation of dogs and cats in the Caribbean. Every day, hundreds of dumped and abandoned dogs and cats are killed on the streets. This senseless killing of defenseless animals can only be properly addressed with a concerted effort to end the yearly population increase. CSN is tackling this issue by organizing large scaled spay/neuter projects to better the lives of strays and pets from low-income families who cannot afford veterinary care. Through their efforts, hundreds of new litters are prevented from being born into a life of utter misery.

SPCA International applauds Caribbean Spay Neuter and its commitment to the stray animal population in the Caribbean. We are thrilled to support their work and excited to work closely together on future sterilization campaigns.
