Animal Cruelty

If you’re a friend of the ASPCA, chances are you’ve seen Kiki before. A staple at our New York City Adoption Center, this sweet bulldog mix has also been featured in ASPCA videos and on our website many times. But what you might not know is where Kiki came from, or the fact that he was adopted and returned three times after being rescued from cruelty. That’s why we are so thrilled to share this special dog’s Happy Tail with you today.

In the short time since 524 cats and dogs were adopted at our record-breaking event in Sanford, North Carolina, we’ve heard from many pet parents who are eager to share the stories of their new furry family members.

Angel K. of Vass, North Carolina, adopted Owen, an elderly Lab mix who was also the last dog to find a home.  

For the eighth year in a row, the ASPCA was selected as one of four national charities to participate in the Subaru Share the Love Event, which ran from November 19, 2015, to January 2, 2016. This year, Subaru generously increased its total charitable donation from $15 million to $18.5 million!
