I too have visited SPCA Serving Erie County and was equally impressed with the care that is given to each of their residents. They test for behavior with the dogs surrendered to them and I was worried that perhaps many did not pass the test. I(just a simple county bumpkin from this tiny spot in nowhere land) was given a guided tour of the facility by one of the senior vet tech and given ample opportunity to ask about all areas of their operation. I am involved in attempting to rescue cats in the South and I was amazed that they used every bit of space available to them to try to keep as many cats as possible alive. Many organizations would not give these cats a chance.
I was also impressed that dogs that fail to pass certain areas of the behavioral testing are given time and additional training before retesting.
The compassion of my tour guide and the personal attention I was given lets me know that no matter how much an organization grows(ours currently has fewer than a dozen volunteers) you can still convey your group's message to each person that enters the shelter.
Thanks to SPCA Serving Erie Co for sharing your mission and methods with a fellow animal advocate! Read Less
