The Western PA Humane Society announced that it has been selected as one of only 50 animal shelters throughout the United States (and the only shelter in Pennsylvania) to compete in the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) $100,000 Challenge. 

The “Challenge” is to adopt more dogs and cats into loving homes and to get more “Live releases” of feral cats back out into the community from August 1-October 31^st  2010… a minimum of 300 more cats and dogs released than the same time period in 2009.  The Western PA Humane Society wants to win the contest so we have set a goal of adopting out (or releasing) 2000 dogs and cats during this 3 month time period. 

During the ASPCA $100K Challenge the Western PA Humane Society will be offering a variety of adoption specials that will change throughout the 3 month period.
All animals will be spayed, neutered, and vaccinated with age appropriate vaccines and a microchip. 

In addition to the Adoption Pricing and Specials throughout the next few months the Western PA Humane Society has instituted a new ASPCA $100K Challenge FERAL CAT PROGRAM for people who care for outdoor cats and wish to get them vaccinated, spayed or neutered.    Feral Cats returned to the community will count in the Challenge Numbers of 2000 live releases.

These low-cost spay/neuter/vaccination services are available to feral colony caregivers who practice Trap-Neuter-Return, which is the humane solution for feral cats. More information about TNR and caring for feral cats is available on www.alleycat.org.

“While our goal is to win this competition, the ultimate winners will be the many more animals that find homes as well as their new families,” says Nesler.  “Our goal is to win this challenge and to put this money right back into spay/neuter programs by stopping unwanted litters of kittens and puppies being born and promoting our adoption programs.”
