We at the SPCA Serving Erie County are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we’ve received from so many kind-hearted individuals and organizations. We are truly humbled by your belief in our mission and your recognition of the SPCA as a vital part of our community. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us in our daily work to improve the lives of animals and ensures our ability to continue as a beacon of hope for them. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every donor who partnered with us on this journey in 2024!

We especially acknowledge our Pack Leaders, generous individuals who made $1,000 or more gifts between January 1 and December 31, 2024. Their extraordinary commitment allows us to help even more animals in need.
