Review Details

We are a small group working to save pets from a rural area. Erie County SPCA has a wonderful adopter base and they work to place pets in need that fit their adoption criteria. They truly work hard to help all the pets that come to them. Their administrators travel to share what works for them with other groups across the country. They are willing to take time to give smaller groups, like our group, a tour and explain some of the policies, practices and mission of their group. Even though they receive more cats than they can find homes for, I was so impressed to see that every spare foot of space they could find was spent in housing all the cats that they could. For those who do not work in cat rescue, perhaps you cannot appreciate this comment. Many groups that are forced to euthanize for space hold only a certain number of what they consider the most adoptable cats. I literally cried after I left their facility as I could see they were working as hard as anyone to save each and every feline creature they possibly could. Spay/neuter services, mobile adoption centers and so many more services. Small groups like ours dream of introducing such services to our community. How refreshing that Erie Co SPCA is open and communicative and willing to help others by sharing information, history, policies, tips and opinions.
We thank them for their assistance.

I, too, have visited this shelter when taking dogs for them to find homes for. I was amazed at how busy they were -- the parking lot is huge and was absolutely full. I could see families everywhere visiting with animals. Based on what I have learned of their history, they have gone above and beyond to save animals and share their knowledge and hard work with others.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!! They NEVER euthanize adoptable animals. They do surgery and treatment on pets and wildlife with all kinds of problems. Only in the rarest of cases, after time, evaluation and training would they consider euthanizing an animal.

The SPCA Serving Erie County has no set time. When an animal goes up for adoption, it stays until it gets adopted unless some thing medically happens that they can not handle. I personally have seen animals there for 4-6 months.
