SPCA Holding Open House
Animal lovers, take note!
The McKean County S.P.C.A. is offering something for everyone at its Rabies Clinic and Open House set for Saturday, May 9.
Lots of activities will take place outside at the Glenwood Avenue Shelter, beginning at noon. Food will be plentiful, with sales of baked goods, along with hot dogs, chips, pop, and bottled water at tables outside the building.
Other tables will house a silent auction, with numerous items of interest donated by local individuals and businesses. A 50-50 raffle will be held. “Buddy,” the Shelter mascot, is expected to put in an appearance.
Lori Burkhouse, an SPCA Board member who is chairing the Open House, promises goodies for all age groups. “We have lots of food, a large array of sale and auction items, and even face-painting for the kids.”
Pet items for sale will include homemade dog treats, toys, animal clothing, leashes and collars. People items available for purchase will include SPCA tote bags, shirts, and blankets.
The rabies clinic will take place in the nearby Bradford Water Authority Building from the hours of 1-3 p.m. Information will be available, as will rabies vaccine. Pet-owners are urged to bring their animals for shots, which will be provided for a small fee by a local veterinarian at the clinic. Owners are reminded that their pets should be on a leash or in a carrier for the event.
The Open House at the Shelter will run from noon to 4 p.m., and will be an excellent opportunity for animal-lovers to come into contact with pets looking for homes. Dick Gorton, President of the McKean County SPCA, notes that the week of May 3-9 has been designated “Be Kind to Animals Week” by the American Humane Association. “What better way to be kind to an animal than to give it a loving home,” Gorton remarked. “And we certainly have a good number of wonderful pets that anyone liking animals would find attractive and adoptable.”
All proceeds from the Open House items for sale will benefit the McKean County SPCA. As Lori Burkhouse notes, “It’s a great way to have some good family fun and also support a worthy cause.”
