To thank the members of the armed services this Memorial Day, the SPCA Serving Erie County once again offers Vets & Pets, waiving adoption fees on most animals for individuals and immediate families of individuals on active duty, reserves, and honorable discharge, along with service-disabled veterans and those retired from military service! This program, a longtime SPCA tradition, is proudly presented by the kind, caring, and patriotic folks at Northtown Subaru.

“In addition to delivering exceptional automotive services, we are committed to fostering positive transformations within our community, dedicated to spreading warmth and compassion to all. As part of the Northtown family, we consistently rise to meet the needs of others, and are committed to the support of the SPCA Serving Erie County and its invaluable initiatives such as Vet and Pets,” says Harold Erbacher, Co-owner of Northtown Automotive Companies.

Vets & Pets begins Saturday, May 24 and runs through Saturday, May 31* at the SPCA’s 300 Harlem Rd., West Seneca location (off-site locations are not included in this campaign).

Military ID or DD214 will need to be presented. If an individual is currently serving outside of New York State, that individual’s spouse can adopt during Vets & Pets if a military spouse identification card is presented. Adopters can apply the Vets & Pets waived adoption fee promotion toward a total of two animals.

Please contact SPCA Adoptions Supervisor Zak Sprowls with any questions: (716) 875-7360, ext. 203.

*Adoption hours are 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The SPCA is closed Sunday and Monday, May 25 and 26. Final guest passes for those wishing to adopt from the SPCA’s West Seneca location are issued one hour prior to closing.
