Thanks to our Dedicated Volunteers

This is not just a blanket statement, but rather a heart-warming, inspiring and wonderful FACT that is supported by the following extraordinary volunteer acts:

Walk, exercise and love the dogs no matter what the weather!
Help out, despite chronic illnesses & pain!

Bring drinks and treats to the staff too!
Write thank you notes to donors & pay for the postage too!

Pick-up, Sort, Count, Deliver & Redeem 320,000 returnable cans & bottles annually!
Bathe the most malodorous, untrained & high energy large breed dogs
(This means always willing to get soaked with doggie wash & rinse water)!
Donate time to mow & pick-up our yard, empty litter-boxes, shovel snow & clean the attic!
Rise early & give up much needed weekend sleep to help with the “Catnip Program”!
Provide love to all the orphan shelter cats (20+) on one visit (so no one feels left out)!
Work hours upon hours rewiring kennel gates & wire brushing kennels -saving the shelter thousands of dollars!
Work full-time jobs, take care of their families & still find time to volunteer!
Give financial contributions in addition to their enormous gift of volunteer time!
Urgent Need for Event Volunteers
Do you enjoy attending local events? Do you feel comfortable talking with a variety of people? If you do, and you have some time to spare – the Finger Lakes SPCA needs your help. Our SPCA, serving Steuben County, needs to participate in as many local events as possible. Our booth at these events hands out information pamphlets, shares pictures and information about the dogs and cats available for adoption at the shelter on Route 54, collects very important donations and sells our T-shirts, hats, etc. Our current volunteers for event duties are stretched to the limit during the busy summer and fall Finger Lakes seasons. If you would enjoy “manning our table” for a few hours at upcoming events please call the Finger Lakes SPCA at 776-3039 or email at info@FingerLakesSPCA.org. Check out our website at www.fingerlakesspca.org for more information.
