Humane Society of Erie County

Our Story

The Humane Society of Erie County has a rich history dating back to 1866, when the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) was formed. By 1900, the Erie County Humane Society was officially established, dedicated to ensuring kindness and justice for all living creatures. In 1985, it became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, relying solely on donations to operate. In 2019, the shelter expanded to better serve the community and its animals.

Our Impact

Why Donate?
