SPCA  International
The mission of SPCA International
is to raise the awareness of the
abuse of animals to a global level,
to eradicate the euthanasia of
healthy and adoptable companion
animals and to mount efforts to
enhance animal welfare throughout
the world.
Pet Rescue
Over 7 million adoptable dogs & cats are killed each year due mainly to
overpopulation!  25-30% of dogs in animal shelters are purebred. The other
70-75% are lovable, wonderful mixed-breed pets, just waiting for a chance to
be your perfect new friend.

In order to help people make good choices when they adopt a dog or cat,
most humane societies, SPCAs and pet rescues provide adoption counseling
to help match the pet for adoption to the prospective new "parent".

If you have your heart set on a specific breed, before you check out a dog or
cat breeder, why not adopt a pet from an animal shelter or dog
breed rescue
organization or
purebred cat recue? Breed rescues are groups that specialize
in a particular breed of dog or cat.

Animal shelters and pet rescues are not filled with dog or cats that were
discarded because they're "bad". Shelter pets for adoption are wonderful
companions who became the unfortunate victims of family tragedy, unlucky
circumstances, irresponsible owners or pet breeding farms (see
Puppy Mills)

Many backyard dog breeders and pet stores who supply the majority of
purebreds simply are selling inbred pets without care for preventing genetic
problems (See
Puppy Mills)

Mixed breed pets have less inbreeding, generally less inherited genetic
disease, and therefore overall lower vet bills and happier pets! The best
place to find a mixed breed dog or cat is at an SPCA, a humane society or an
animal shelter.
SPCA  International   works both independently and together with local
SPCA organizations in all countries.

SPCA International will also provide  global information and referral
resource to animal owners and advocates throughout the world who seek a
shelter or wish to adopt a shelter animal, who have questions about
animals, or who wish to join with like-minded animal welfare advocates to
raise awareness and end cruelty to animals.
