| Operation Baghdad Pups Must Continue! |
| The
Operation Baghdad Pups mission is not over even though U.S. troops have
pulled out of Iraq. Over 16,000 American and their animals still
remain in Iraq working to train Iraq security forces, running one of
the largest U.S. embassy's in the world and two U.S. consulates, and
the FBI and CIA also have a continued presence there. And,
as you know already, many U.S. troops were forced to leave their
animals behind and the SPCA International team is set to go back to
Iraq to rescue them this month. Many of these American civilians and contractors will remain in Iraq through 2012 and beyond. SPCA International is committed to helping all Americans in Iraq get their animals to safe, loving homes in the U.S. We will not stop until all these patriot pets are safe. What's Coming Next? |

mom, Mama, fell into good fortune when U.S. soldier Robert Wade and his
unit took the scraggly dogs into their care. Now Sadie and her
six pups are waiting to begin a journey to their new home in the U.S. –
a journey that almost didn't happen. Discover The Whole Tail |

| Hey, Did You Know? |
 Arctic
hares are one of the few species that do not hibernate during the harsh
winter months in the North American tundra. The hare’s thick
fur keeps it warm during these chilly months, and they have also been
known to dig shelters in the snow and huddle together to share the
warmth. A bright white fur provides camouflage for the hare in
the winter and turns to a blue-gray color in the spring to blend with
the local rocks and vegetation. |
