Los Angeles - October 16, 2007, The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International (SPCA.COM) will be on hand at Irwindale Speedway this Saturday October 20, 2007 to recognize the Inland Valley Humane Society, as the National Shelter of the Week. This takes place during the NASCAR Toyota All Star Showdown. One of the racecars will also be sporting SPCA.COM.

The mission of SPCA International is to raise awareness of the abuse of animals to a global level, to teach and foster good pet parenting policies, and to promote spay and neuter programs around the world with the goal of eradicating the need to euthanize healthy and adoptable companion animals of all ages. The SPCA International accomplishes these goals through outreach programs and by supporting shelters already working to achieve these goals.

According to SPCA International Executive Director Michael Zambotti, “We are excited to be hosting a distinguished local shelter for an evening of fun and recognition. In 1949, four women in the Inland Empire were appalled. They saw the way that stray animals in their community were housed and treated and decided to do something. Today, the Inland Valley Humane Society serves nine cities and county areas with a total population of over 750,000. They provide food, shelter and medical treatment to over 400 dogs and 200 cats each day. We are honored to recognize this historic and successful shelter in our local community.”

During the Toyota All Star Showdown, SPCA.COM will be a featured group on the #61, Pets Best Insurance, Racing to Save Pets, NASCAR Grand National racecar.

Every week, SPCA International chooses an animal shelter somewhere in the United States that they feel is not only doing a great job, but also needs a little extra financial assistance. The mission of SPCA International is to raise awareness of the abuse of animals to a global level, to teach and foster good pet parenting policies, and to promote spay and neuter programs around the world with the goal of eradicating the need to euthanize healthy and adoptable companion animals of all ages.

The SPCA also serves as an information and referral resource for animal lovers throughout the world who seek a shelter or want to adopt a shelter animal, who have questions about animals, or who wish to join with like-minded advocates to raise awareness and end cruelty to animals.
