American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

The ASPCA commercials that feature abused and neglected animals are based on real cases of animal cruelty and neglect. The animals that appear in these commercials are often rescued from dire situations and brought to ASPCA shelters for rehabilitation and care.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – SPCA 'for short' – aims to protect all animals from cruelty, neglect and ill treatment that often results from ignorance of animals and their needs.
