It was founded by Amina Abaza and Dina Zulfikar in 2001.

's greatest goal and challenge is to eliminate the cruel mentality which allows people to abuse animals.

By raising public awareness about animal welfare in Egypt, SPARE works continuously to convince Egyptians that compassion towards animals is not a luxury, it's a must.

In addition to providing kennels, clinics, and spay and neuter operations, SPARE acts as an animal advocacy organization.

It has undertaken causes such as improving conditions at the Cairo zoo, fighting the growth of "private zoos" in Egypt, and improving government standards relating to Egyptian slaughterhouses.
