The SPCA Serving Erie County is deeply touched by the outpouring of support from countless compassionate individuals and organizations. Their belief in our mission and recognition of the SPCA as a vital community force is humbling. Each and every contribution, large or small, fuels our daily efforts to improve the lives of animals and secures our future as a beacon of hope. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank every single donor who joined us in this journey in 2023.

We especially acknowledge our Pack Leaders, generous individuals who made $1,000 or more gifts between January 1 and December 31, 2023. Their extraordinary commitment allows us to help even more animals in need.
