Saturday at the SPCA Serving Erie Country

I just attempted to walk across our adoption lobby - adopters, prospective adopters, visitors, shoppers...we are full! The animals and humans are all looking stressed, due to the overcrowded conditions. In the Petique, our store, we have already had 6 puppies, four dogs, countless cats and kittens that were going home and needed supplies. It's noon, and only going to get busier in the next 5 hours.

My SPCA/Shelter Makeover

I have been fortunate to be a staff member of the SPCA Serving Erie County, in Tonawanda, NY for 14 years. Our shelter has come a long way in those years, adding valuable programs for the animals and the people who love them. We have outgrown our building, originally built in the 1960's and remodeled many times. Our infirmary is too small for the multitudes of animals we neuter and treat, our kennels are always full, we do not have enough space to let mourning owners grieve when their beloved p… read more
