GLOBAL ANIMAL VETERINARY ASSISTANCE - EACH YEAR, THE SPCAI DISTRIBUTES CRITICAL VETERINARY MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO ANIMAL SHELTERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. AS A RESULT, ORGANIZATIONS WITH A FOCUS ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TREAT MORE SICK AND INJURED ANIMALS. THESE DONATIONS, ALONG WITH FINANCIAL GRANTS, HAVE ALLOWED ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE SUCCESSFUL SPAY AND NEUTER EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, THE SPCAI HAS DISTRIBUTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN VETERINARY MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO SHELTERS ON ALMOST EVERY CONTINENT.

PATRIOT PETS (FORMERLY CALLED OPERATION BAGHDAD PUPS: WORLDWIDE) - U.S. TROOPS DEPLOYED AROUND THE WORLD BEFRIEND LOCAL ANIMALS AS A WAY TO COPE WITH THE EMOTIONAL HARDSHIPS THEY ENDURE EVERY DAY FAR FROM HOME AND LOVED ONES. THESE ANIMALS, OFTEN CALLED MILITARY MASCOTS OR PATRIOT PETS, NOT ONLY HELP OUR HEROES WHILE STATIONED OVERSEAS, BUT ALSO HELP THEM READJUST TO LIFE WHEN THEY RETURN HOME. THIS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL AND CELEBRATED PROGRAM HAS BEEN REUNITING U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS WITH THEIR COMPANIONS SINCE 2008. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES VETERINARY CARE AND COORDINATES COMPLICATED LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO REUNITE THESE BELOVED PETS WITH THEIR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN BACK IN THE U.S. APOLLO'S AID (FORMERLY CALLED OPERATION MILITARY PETS)THE SPCAI HAS HELPED MILITARY FAMILIES' PETS THROUGH THE APOLLO'S AID, FORMERLY KNOWN AS OPERATION MILITARY PETS PROGRAM SINCE 2013. WHEN MILITARY FAMILIES ARE ORDERED TO A NEW BASE IN THE U.S. OR AROUND THE WORLD, MOVING BILLS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. THE MILITARY PAYS FOR MANY MOVING COSTS, BUT THEY DO NOT HELP RELOCATE THEIR BELOVED PETS. THE COST FOR PET TRANSPORTATION CAN BE SIGNIFICANT. MILITARY FAMILIES ARE BEING TORN APART DUE TO FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS. ALL OVER THE U.S., ANIMAL SHELTERS NEAR MILITARY BASES REPORT HIGH SURRENDER RATES WHEN MILITARY FAMILIES CANNOT AFFORD TO RELOCATE THEIR DOGS OR CATS. TO HELP KEEP MILITARY FAMILIES TOGETHER AND ANIMALS OUT OF SHELTERS, OPERATION MILITARY PETS PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO MILITARY FAMILIES FOR PET RELOCATION COSTS. SPCA INTERNATIONAL'S APOLLO'S AID MEDICAL GRANT PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CASES FOR ALL MILITARY MEMBERS, INCLUDING VETERANS, RESERVISTS, ACTIVE DUTY, AND DOD CONTRACTORS. IT IS DESIGNED TO RELIEVE SOME OF THE FINANCIAL BURDENS FOR OUR SERVICE MEMBERS WHEN AN UNEXPECTED MEDICAL ISSUE ARISES.SPCA INTERNATIONAL'S APOLLO'S AID REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROVIDES FINANCIAL AID FOR REFUGEES THAT HAVE BEEN DISPLACED FROM THEIR HOMES AND ARE SEEKING ASSISTANCE FOR THEIR BELOVED PETS. IT IS DESIGNED TO REUNITE REFUGEES WITH THEIR PETS WHEN AN UNEXPECTED ISSUE ARISES.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS - THE SPCAI'S EDUCATION OUTREACH REACHES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PET PARENTS AND ANIMAL ACTIVISTS EVERY YEAR. BOTH ONLINE AND THROUGH OTHER MEDIA RESOURCES, THE SPCAI SERVES AS AN INFORMATION AND REFERRAL RESOURCE FOR ANIMAL LOVERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. SKILLED STAFF RESEARCH QUESTIONS, FIND ANSWERS, OFFER ADVICE AND CONNECT THOSE REQUESTING ASSISTANCE. EVERY YEAR, THE SPCAI PROVIDES SUPPORT AND HELP TO THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF ANIMAL ASSISTANCE. THE SPCAI'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS REDUCE ANIMAL SUFFERING AND ABUSE BY RAISING AWARENESS AND FACILITATING ACTION AMONG LIKE-MINDED ADVOCATES.

SHELTER AND EMERGENCY GRANTS - THE SPCAI GIVES DIRECT SUPPORT BY AWARDING SHELTER SUPPORT GRANTS TO MANY REGISTERED NON-PROFIT ANIMAL ORGANIZATIONS IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE THROUGHOUT THE U.S. AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. THESE MUCH-NEEDED FUNDS GO TOWARD HELPING MANY SHELTERS IMPROVE THEIR FACILITIES, FUND BASIC NEEDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO VETERINARY CARE, SUPPORT SPAY AND NEUTER INITIATIVES AND ULTIMATELY REDUCE EUTHANASIA RATES. ANIMAL SHELTERS ALWAYS TRY TO PLAN FOR AN INFLUX OF ANIMALS, AN EMERGENCY SITUATION OR AN UNFORESEEN EXPENSE, BUT MANY TIMES ORGANIZATIONS BECOME OVERWHELMED. IN LIGHT OF THIS, THE SPCAI ALSO DISTRIBUTES EMERGENCY GRANTS TO SHELTERS WHEN THEY NEED IT THE MOST, IN URGENT CRISIS SITUATIONS.
