Programs and results
What we aim to solve
If you look at a map of the world and put your finger down on any place, on almost any continent, you would be pointing at hundreds of suffering animals. From companion animals, like dogs and cats, to wildlife and sea life, stopping abuse and suffering is a huge challenge.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Shelter Support Fund
SPCAI serves and partners with shelters, rescue groups and governments around the world. Through these unique and pioneering partnerships local organizations are able to rescue, treat, rehabilitate, feed, sterilize and home more animals than ever before.
Patriot Pets
Members of the U.S. military stationed on bases all over the world befriend local animals during deployments that become their companions. But they are often forced to leave them behind when their deployments are over. The Patriot Pets, previously Operation Baghdad Pups: Worldwide, program rescues and reunites these patriot pets with our their servicemembers in the U.S. To date, we have rescued over 1200 animals from multiple countries in the Middle East, Central Europe, Southeast Asia and Africa.
Apollo's Aid
When a U.S. military family is ordered to relocate, the military reimburses many moving costs, but they don’t help relocate the family pet. Apollo's Aid, previously Operation Military Pets, helps keep military families together by providing financial assistance for pet relocation costs. Whether being relocated within the United States or anywhere in the world, SPCA International's Operation Military Pets is here to keep pets out of animal shelters and with the ones they love.
Veterinary Supply Aid
SPCA International (SPCAI) distributes critical veterinary medical supplies to animal welfare groups throughout the world. As a result, organizations in developing countries have been able to treat more sick and injured animals. SPCAI has distributed millions of dollars in veterinary supplies and medicine to shelters on almost every continent.
Education Initiatives
SPCAI delivers important, actionable information to pet parents, animal activists and concerned citizens to help improve the lives of animals around the world. Serving as an information hub, SPCAI educates concerned citizens about a variety of animal welfare issues.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The SPCA International works to stop the abuse and suffering of animals with innovative programs that serve both animals and their human caretakers.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
SPCAI serves and partners with shelters, rescue groups and governments around the world. Through these unique and pioneering partnerships local organizations are able to rescue, treat, rehabilitate, feed, sterilize and home more animals than ever before.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
With a nimble and effective staff of animal rescue experts, passionate individuals and volunteers SPCA International has proven very adept at meeting and exceeding goals. By forging partnerships internationally with local organizations and animal advocates, SPCA International has been able to rescue animals from war zones, increase spay and neuter rates, reduce abuse and increase adoption in many parts of the world.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
SPCAI has seen growth in almost every area for consecutive years. In 2021 SPCAI increased Shelter Support Fund grant distributions by more than 18%. We distributed 30% more veterinary supply aid shipments than the previous year. We rescued 24% more animals for military servicemembers on deployment through the Operation Baghdad Pups: Worldwide program in 2021. While the Operation Military Pets program saw a 20% increase in families helped with $283,750 in grants awarded to military families struggling to keep their pets.
Even with all this growth and measurable impact, we have not accomplished enough because animals continue to suffer. The SPCAI team will continue to set high goals and work daily to meet them because these significant gains year after year will one day add up to an end to needless animal suffering.
