The staff were all very friendly and knew the cats personalties, health, and backgrounds pretty well. I was impressed with how nice the place looked and the space they gave all of them. There are so many sweet and loving cats there! The dogs they were walking outside were very nice as well. They would walk up and get pets from everyone. They helped me pick out Forklift and he did not take long to make this his new home and I am very happy with how today went! He has explored, purred, played, and is now sleeping happily on my bed. For those wanting to adopt, this is a great place to find them!

This review is specific to the Wildlife department I drove by a dead skunk on the road and there was a baby literally sitting on top of the mother right next to the road. I called the SPCA and they told me that if I could safely do it, to capture and bring in the baby skunks! My girlfriend and I were carefully able to do so and were able to catch them, turns out there were 2. We brought them into the SPCA and were told they would try to find a rehabilitation center and then euthanize them if they couldn’t. I was a little unsettled by this and handed them over, I immediately started researching and calling places that could take them. I called the SPCA again and left a voicemail asking them NOT to euthanize as I was working on finding a place as well. I called again to inform them that I had found 2 licensed rehab centers and would drive them there to be taken care of, at this point they told me they had euthanized the baby skunks. It hadn’t even been more than 3 hours and the skunks were already dead. I told the women I spoke on the phone with that I wouldn’t have brought them there in the first place if they weren’t even going to try and I would’ve just taken them to the rehab center, to which she said something along the lines of “then why didn’t you?”. I didn’t know euthanasia was the first step in this process! Overall very disappointing, I wanted to help these little skunks out so they could live their lives elsewhere, I did not realize that by bringing them in they would be dead on arrival.

Have been looking for a lionsmane bunny for years. I stumbled upon Nugget last Monday. What an amazing experience the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable and the new facilities were amazing! Everyone had a smile. Nugget is flourishing, and I recommend adoption. Our first dog, Reggie, was a lab/sheppard mix he was the most amazing, kind, special gift we have ever had. All my pets from the SPCA have been the best. Thank you. And if Nuggets family sees this, know he is loved, and you did an amazing job! Please remember these are family members, not gifts.... this bun is free roam and on a farm. Give them the best life ever as you are their world! ❤️ Also, I got a free vet visit within the 1st 10 days... exotics like Nugget are 50 to 60 depending on the vet👍❤️

Went to the Erie county SPCA just to look around. Had several conversations with different staff members and ended up adopting a sweet dog. The staff behaviorist talked to us about him and shared all the information they had on him. And to top it off they were running a promotion so it cost less than it normally would. If you are in the market for a pet I strongly recommend starting at the SPCA, you might just save a life!!!

A couple months ago I brought home my first parakeet, Imogen. Since then I’ve realized my love of birds and about a month afterwards I brought home three more. They all came scared and skinny, since the SPCA had just rescued them from an abusive home. Now they are the loudest and loveliest birds, who love to sing and land on my head and shoulders when they’re out of the cage! They are genuinely the best things that have happened to me and I’m so glad I’ve been able to give them a good forever home. They are lovely and happy birds and I’m so happy I got the chance to rescue them. Just a thank you to the amazing people at the SPCA for helping me find my birds. They all love each other so much and when they aren’t playing and singing they’re napping and preening each other, or gossiping and talking to each other. Thank you for helping me find them. I can’t wait to rescue more in the future. UPDATE: If you’re seeing this, Gina, I sent you the photos through email! Feel free to contact me through email or the number I provided for more pictures <3 once again, great place! I recommend everyone goes there. Adopt, don’t shop!
