TAIL WAGGIN' THANKS TO LACKAWANNA GIRL SCOUTS
Girl Scout Troup #219 in the Youthtown After School Program at Martin Road Elementary School in Lackawanna, NY collected dog and cat items to donate to Operation PETS. They also made picture frames and goodie bags for their furry friends. This was a community service project for the Girl Scouts under the direction of Helen Marsillo and Belinda Randloph.
Thank you, girls, for your hard work and dedication to support animals in need in your community! We are extremely grateful to you for acknowledging the importance of spaying and neutering to prevent stray, abandoned, and unwanted companion animals. Your donations mean we're one step closer to creating a world where there are no more homeless pets.

Erie County Receives Maddie's Fund Award Over Five Years
to Save All Healthy and Treatable Cats and Dogs
Maddie’s Fund The Pet Rescue Foundation has announced that it will award a grant to support a multi-year community project targeted at guaranteeing a home for every healthy and treatable dog and cat abandoned in Erie County. An additional grant will be dedicated to the sterilization of feral cats and of cats owned by income-qualified residents. As goals are achieved, Maddie’s Fund will provide approximately $5 million over the course of five years to help Erie County project partners continue fulfilling these objectives for the cats and dogs of the community.
Maddie was a beloved Miniature Schnauzer whose unconditional love, devotion, loyalty and spirit inspired her guardians to promise Maddie to help other animals find happy homes. Dave and Cheryl Duffield are fulfilling their promise to Maddie. In honor of their cherished companion they started a charitable foundation, Maddie's Fund. Maddie's Fund devotes its resources to help build a no-kill nation. Thanks to Maddie's Fund shelter pets in desperate need of love and care are afforded new opportunities to find compassionate homes in which they, too, may share in the joy, love and companionship that Maddie shared with Dave and Cheryl.
Maddie’s Pet Rescue Project Partners include Operation PETS, HEART Animal Rescue & Adoption Team, Buffalo Humane, City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, Second Chance Sheltering Network, Ten Lives Club, and lead agency the SPCA Serving Erie County. Maddie’s Spay/Neuter Project Partners also includes ten local veterinary clinics (Akron Animal Hospital, All Creatures Animal Hospital, Aurora Park Animal Clinic, Boston Valley Animal Hospital, Cheektowaga Veterinary Hospital, City Creatures Animal Hospital, East Aurora Veterinary Hospital, Ellicott Small Animal Hospital, Lancaster Small Animal Hospital, and Transit Valley Animal Hospital).
Over the course of the first year, project goals include increasing the number of dogs and cats adopted from participating organizations, maintaining a total of zero healthy dogs and cats euthanized by participating organizations, and decreasing the number of treatable dogs and cats euthanized in Erie County. Sterilization assistance will be provided to income-qualified pet owners and to feral cats.
Per SPCA Executive Director Barbara Carr, “Our project partners have pledged that the customary ten-year goal of the project, that of euthanizing no healthy nor treatable dog or cat, will be reached in five years. There is no doubt that this goal will be reached, earning our community this generous grant. The Maddie’s Pet Rescue Project community grant is revolutionary. It is a testimony to the tremendous work our community and our project partners have already completed, and will advance a testimony to just how much this community loves its animals.”
