Pet Pal Patch ProgramÂ
Scout troops are welcome to visit our shelter to learn about the mission and
the wonderful ways the SPCA Serving Erie County helps our community. Scouts will learn skills such as how to be safe around animals and other ways to be a responsible pet advocate.
The program consists of a 90-minute workshop that includes a tour, an interactive lesson, and a visit from an animal ambassador. Once your program has been confirmed, the group leader will receive a PDF download of service activities for the group to do on their own before or after the workshop. At the end of the workshop, each scout will receive a paw print patch to show their commitment to helping animals and being a pal to all pets.
The cost is $12 per scout.
