Thank you Zootoo! The Erie SPCA is the second oldest in the US, and there are generations of people who love animals here. Our county is poor, but we love our animals. The loss of many major plants and thousands of jobs over the last several decades in the Buffalo area has left a lot of abandoned houses and even more abandoned animals. Erie county's animal overpopulation rivals that of much larger cities, and the SPCA works around the clock to try to keep up. There are still so many animals to save, and never enough space, manpower, or funds. We struggle to help every animal we can, and Erie SPCA rescues pets from the city's pound whenever it can. The shelter works very hard with local businesses to get animals new homes. There are adoption viewing areas anywhere they can be squeezed in, even if it's just for a few hours once a week. There's even one at a gas station near my home. All the lives saved appreciate the hard work of the great people at the SPCA.

For those not in our area, I encourage you to check out the diary of the Vet Services Manager at our shelter:www.yourspca.org
In 18 days in March, the shelter took in 297 Cats, 267 Dogs, 12 Bunnies, 6 Birds, 11 Pocket Pets, and 5 Ferrets. Buffalo might have lost at some Super Bowls, but we're fighting to win the battle at the food bowls.

Zootoo, I've got my fingers and toes crossed for the animals of Erie County! Read Less
