SPANA: Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad

Past Outreach projects
in Europe

Albania

In October 2000, SPANA arranged for donkey expert, Ian Dacre, to travel to Albania and spend 5 days training veterinary workers.

Romania

Romania has a horse population of 1 million, most of which are poorly shod. This Outreach project trained local farriers to use more humane shoeing techniques, easing the day-to-day pain of working horses and donkeys.

Turkey

The Turkish Association for the Protection of Street Animals requested our help with spaying/neutering cats and dogs. The Turkish Airforce provided a shelter with the capacity for 250 local animals. We also helped to sterilise and treat 1,128 cats and 400 dogs in the holiday resort of Kusadasi.
