SPCA offers free adoptions to current and past military members

May 26, 2025 | Events

The SPCA Serving Erie County is once again offering Vets & Pets.

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 Automotive.

Vets & Pets began on May 24 and runs through Saturday, May 31 at the SPCA’s 300 Harlem Road, West Seneca location only. Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and final guest passes for those wishing to adopt from the SPCA’s West Seneca location are issued one hour prior to closing. (The SPCA’s West Seneca location is closed Monday, May 26.)

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.
