To thank 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 Kristen and Tom Pulvino.
Vets & Pets began on Saturday, May 23 and runs through Saturday, May 30 at the SPCA’s 300 Harlem Road, West Seneca location. 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.
The SPCA extends a patriotic thank you to Kristen and Tom Pulvino for allowing veterans and current service members the opportunity to adopt a beloved animal companion at no cost, creating life-changing bonds built on healing, hope, and unconditional love!

Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Potential adoptions must be started at least one hour prior to closing.
