Beginning August 1, the SPCA will be a participant in Save More Lives – ASPCA $100K Challenge, competing for a $100,000 grant from the ASPCA.

            “We are so excited to be 1 of 50 shelters in the United States to participate in this challenge,” said Warren Cox, Executive Director. “In three months, we hope to save at least 300 more lives than we did in the same period as last year and hoping to win that $100,000 grant.”

The shelter that goes the farthest above the number of adoptions that were performed last year during the same three month period (August – September) will receive the $100,000 grant.

The SPCA is asking people to adopt a pet from a shelter and spread the word about the SPCA’s involvement in the Challenge. When members of the community get involved, they will not only be helping the animals, but they will also be increasing the SPCA’s chances of winning the other ASPCA prize: $25,000 for the shelter that enlists the most community support in this life saving effort.
