This organization is focused on one thing - enriching itself and promoting an agenda that has nothing to do with helping animals. They mislead by showing ads with dogs and cats in deplorable conditions with pleading eyes that tug at your emotions to get you to donate and then they spend ALL of your money ON THEMSELVES. Don't give them a dime. If you want to help animals, please donate to your LOCAL animal shelters where the real work is being done to save and protect God's creatures.

I received an enormous free package from them in the mail with a calculator (ummmm ok), pen, and calendar book. Now why I would need/ want any of that is beyond me. I was rather disturbed by it all since having worked in the manufacturing industry i know that this stuff wasn't cheap. My fist thought was, why the H*LL are they wasting their money sending ME this junk?! i'm a very dedicated animal rights advocate, vegetarian, and sustainable design artist so charities that work to better the lives of animals are always welcome, however i HATE it when they waste their money on ads and 'free gifts.' i saw fist hand that this 'charity' is a scam and not even interested in really helping animals. I'm planing to write to them directly to take me OFF their mailing list. I will never and have never supported them and will advise other to avoid them as well. There are many wonderful charities out there and my 2 favorites are the Humane Society of the United States, Humane Society International. This one is a NO. 0 stars is what this scam charity should get.

SPCAI is a complete scam. This rip-off outfit won't leave my elderly mother-in-law alone. I've called their number (888-690-7722) but it only goes to a recording and they never respond. I've also sent them messages via their website, but they won't respond to them either.
If anyone finds an active phone number or email address for them, please post it here.

My story is the same as a prior reviewer. I started getting 'give me' letters from this group and then they sent me a calculator, pocket calendar, and pen with my name on a sticker. I NEVER give to groups that send me junk I didn't order. I feel that extra money should go to the 'cause' not junk. Glad to find out my feelings were correct and this was another rip-off. Sorry to find out that all that money had been misdirected and could have been used by reputable animal groups. Isn't there SOME way to put these people in jail and get at least SOME of the money back?

What would you tell others about this organization?
DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY. GIVE TO A GROUP THAT YOU ARE PERSONALLY AWARE OF (a local group?) so you can be sure that your money is being used correctly.

i received a mailing from SPCA International that I found abhorrent. It included a desk calculator with the SPCA Global Animal Rescue and a cheap sticker with my name. It also included an SPCA pen and 2012-13 pocket daytimer. What a complete waste of money! Their letter mentions how a Sgt. Watson wrote to see if SPCA could help save an animal he found in Iraq. The poiont of the letter is that our troops are counting on us to help bring home the animals they have found and befriended. They go on to say we owe our freedoms to our servicemen and women, etc. From what I have read, I would not give this organization a dime and every time I use the calculator I will think of how they mismanage their money.

Per IRS form 990, Terri Crisp’s SPCA International received over 15 MILLION dollars in contributions in 2011… Much of this money was raised in support of the SPCAI "Baghdad Pups" campaign, yet only 3% was spent on this project. Over 6.5 MILLION DOLLARS was spent on "Independent Contractors". Most of that went for donor solicitation via Quadriga Art……Terri Crisp now wants even more donations from you for yet another scam, "Dog Condos" in Thailand...REALLY?

Lots of monies coming in but not many animals "saved" - stolen yes- but saved? Not really sure. I do know a rabid animal was brought to the States and others on plane had to be killed because of this neglect. Terri Crisp who heads up Baghdad Pups wit hthis group is a crook...she and her daughter! Just pull up last piece on her - Anderson Cooper 360! She is a piece of work! So is Pierre Barnotti - on the Board of Directors...what a past! and looks like he may be washing fundraising money with Quadriga Art!
