Helping homeless animals

I have read most of the entries after the 3 finalists were announced. The Erie County SPCA was not in the top 3, but we have gained greater exposure in our community and even recognition from our county legislature! The most importantly, we have given voices to homeless animals. I am grateful for the money the shelter received and I am happy for the 3 finalists. It's not about the money; it's about helping animals find a new life. I feel all the 20 shelters should be proud of themselves for… read more

Erie County SPCA is the place to find your forever…

The SPCA has been such a fun place to volunteer. I have learned so much about animals and how to care for them. I am in the Petique, the shelter's store, and I have learned so much about retail. The shelter could do so much more to help more animals if we were to win the makeover prize. It would be wonderful to have more rooms where prospective owners could interact with cats or dogs. We also have a solid humane education department that teaches children to respect and love animals. Think ab… read more

Gracie here again to tell you about the Cat enrichment program.

Gracie says please help the Erie County SPCA!

Featuring:

Gracie here again to tell you how much my mommy loves the SPCA! The number one reason is because she found me there! I am one lucky girl. Mom can't help herself but buy me all kinds of toys and supplies I need to be happy and healthy. This shelter loves its animals, but we are rapidly outgrowing our building! We could do so much more for animals if we had a bigger infirmary to help more injuried animals. We try our best with the space we have, but the ZooToo award could make even bigger and… read more

Makeover wish for Erie County!

Featuring:

Gracie here again to tell you why the Erie County SPCA needs this makeover! This shelter has such wonderful community support and has enabled the shelter to remain financially stable for 141 years! What an accomplishment. Our director, Barbara Carr, is very proactive in soliciting more donor support and the staff here really cares about animals. We could do so much more in the community for animals if we receive this award. I want the shelter to help more kitties and doggies like me! Now I… read more
