SPCA International Announces Expanded Global Effort to Protect and Save Animals in 2012

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) — SPCA International ( www.spcai.org ) announces a renewed focus on refugee animals in crisis due to natural disasters, famine, political turmoil or war in 2012. The animal rights group expects to send millions more in supply aid to struggling shelters worldwide.

SPCAI distributed over $7 million in medical aid and supplies to shelters in Panama, Kuwait, Tanzania, Guatemala and Hong Kong. Thanks to donors and achieving program growth goals, SPCA International distributed more financial grants to shelters domestically and globally than ever before.

“2011 was our most successful year of operations to date and we look forward to supporting and collaborating with even more animal shelters and rescue groups in 2012,” said Stephanie Scott of the SPCAI. “Our mission is truly a global effort and we are determined to see that this year we reach even more areas in need of attention domestically and around the world. In Panama alone, we were able to spay and neuter more than 1,100 dogs and cats in just one weekend last September.”
