SPCA LIGHTS OF LOVE 2019

November 1, 2019
By: Gina Lattuca, SPCA Chief Communications Officer

The SPCA Serving Erie County is bringing back its Lights of Love program for the 2019 holiday season!

November 4 through December 12, those wishing to purchase a labeled Christmas tree light in honor of or in memory of people or pets who have touched their lives can do so through the SPCA. The lights will adorn trees in the organization’s 300 Harlem Rd., West Seneca shelter Adoptions lobby, and will remain lit through the end of the year.

“In Memory Of” white lights and “In Honor Of” colored lights are available for a $20 donation. A string of 12 lights is available for $180. All donations will help give shelter animals a second chance at happy, healthy lives filled with light and love.

Lights of Love is sponsored by Adams Nursery and Garden Center.

Purchase one or more lights here, or call Amber at the SPCA: 716-875-7360, ext. 230.


To celebrate the men and women of the armed services this Veterans Day, the SPCA Serving Erie County offers “Vets & Pets,” waiving adoption fees on most animals for individuals on active duty, reserves, and honorable discharge, along with service-disabled veterans and those retired from military service!

Vets & Pets begins Friday, November 1 and runs through Monday, November 11 at the SPCA’s 300 Harlem Rd., West Seneca shelter and all SPCA offsite adoption locations.

Photos of adoptable animals are available here, and a list of offsite adoption locations, their addresses, and photos of animals at these sites can be found here.

SPCA ENDS PARTNERSHIP WITH WNYMedia.net

In recent years, the SPCA Serving Erie County has listed WNYMedia.net as one of its media partners. The media outlet provided the SPCA with fully-edited, high-quality adoptable animal videos, event videos, wildlife videos, etc. …videos that helped us place animals in new homes and helped the SPCA share with all of you information regarding its important work in animal rescue, rehabilitation, and other animal welfare issues.  We appreciate the effort and skill that went into these pieces at no cost to the SPCA. Unfortunately, last  weekend the SPCA was made aware of a situation in which the media outlet posted on its Facebook page a video of an animal available for adoption at the SPCA Serving Erie County, but added derogatory text to the post to further its opinion on a local, public figure, an opinion in no way shared by the SPCA. WNYMedia.net and its representative, Marc Odien, have publicly accepted full responsibility for the text portion of the post, absolving the SPCA Serving Erie County of any foreknowledge of or involvement in the opinion of this media outlet. However, due to our uncertainty of WNYMedia.net’s choices on how images, names, impressions, video, etc. on and/or in donated SPCA materials will be used to further opinions of the media outlet, we are forced to end our partnership with WNYMedia.net.
