SPCA International works to stop the abuse and suffering of animals with innovative programs that serve both animals and their human caretakers.

OBS

SPCA International was founded in the U. S. in 2006. The mission of [this] organization is simple but vast : to advance the safety and well-being of animals. The majority of local SPCAs and humane societies around the world are not affiliated with national organizations, as most people may presume. Therefore, SPCA International seeks to develop and utilize a worldwide platform that both supports independent animal shelters and promotes the safety of animals. SPCA International strives to assist the growth and impact of independent shelters through alliance building, information networking, national and international programs.
