SPANA in action
Since 1923 SPANA’s veterinary, education and emergency work protects animals and helps the families that depend on them. One day we hope that our work will have set an end to animal cruelty and suffering. Until then there is a lot of work waiting for us every single day.
Here are some of our most recent activities:
