The WSPA Network can connect your U.S. Member Society to international animal welfare organizations, and also to other U.S. organizations, working on every animal welfare issue.

The WSPA Network can provide support to your U.S. Member Society's work, whatever your size, by working in partnership and helping to promote your work. For example, the WSPA Network helped the Avian Welfare Coalition raise awareness and increase attendance at a National Bird Day event.  Appalachian Bear Rescue's bear safe education work is promoted to other members in the WSPA Network.

The WSPA Network can help create sister organization relationships between your U.S. Member Society and a Member Society in a developing country. For example, the Animal Rescue League of Boston has a sister relationship with the Visakha SPCA in India that extends ARL's reach into the developing world and tells their supporters that they are making a difference for animals far beyond their own community.

The WSPA Network enables your U.S. Member Society to use the WSPA as the international arm of your organization. For example, when a disaster strikes overseas, the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA/Angell) provides emergency funds to support the World Society for the Protection of Animals' international relief efforts.

The WSPA Network enables capacity building and the sharing of global animal welfare resources. For example, members of the Association of Professional Humane Educators are using the Animal Care Teacher's Manual, developed by Life Conservationist Association and the WSPA, in its humane education programs in the United States.

The WSPA Network enables U.S. Member Societies to become involved in large global animal welfare campaigns and coalitions. For example, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is one of many U.S. Member Societies who are helping to generate signatures for the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare on their website, encouraging their members to become part of this global effort to improve conditions for animals worldwide.

No other organization can provide your organization with all of these opportunities. Only the WSPA helps fully facilitate collaboration and the sharing of information between organizations around the world.  You retain your independence and identity, while sharing in the success of international work to save and improve the lives of animals in the developing world.

Joining the WSPA is an incredible value.  All of the benefits detailed above are yours for an annual membership fee of less than $100!   (This minimal fee may be waived for organizations that are unable to pay, but would benefit from becoming part of the WSPA Network.)
