Get ready for a birthday party that’s both fun and makes a difference! At the SPCA Serving Erie County, our birthday parties are a blast for animal lovers of all ages – whether you’re celebrating your sixth birthday or you’re turning a sensational 106! You and your guests will have a paw-some time learning about our work and how we help animals and people in our community!
What to Expect
Every party kicks off with a warm welcome from one of our Humane Educators! Guests will explore the SPCA, meet an amazing animal ambassador, and tour our adoptable animal areas and barn. Then, it’s off to our education room for a fun, age-appropriate humane education activity – pre-selected by the birthday guest! The birthday star will also get a photo with an ambassador animal, a special gift, and a photo of an SPCA animal for all of the party guests to sign. And the best part? They’ll get to name one of our homeless pets and receive a photo to follow their journey to adoption online!
