CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY KICKS OFF PENNIES 4 PAWS
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (FEBRUARY 6, 2023) The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) kicks off the 18th annual Pennies 4 Paws this Sunday, February 12th. The goal is to collect two million pennies ($20,000). CCHS Director of Fundraising and Communication Brian Papalia said there is a special component this year, “We are excited to have two anonymous donors create a matching fund for Pennies 4 Paws. They are matching donations over $50 that are raised by local schools, groups, or businesses up to a total of $6,500. We will also have special match days with the first being Valentine’s Day. We ask folks to watch CCHS social media and Chqhumane.org for updates.” Folks are also encouraged to look for special Pennies 4 Paws collection canisters that will be found at local businesses.
CCHS relies on you to keep our valuable community minded programming in place. Your support keeps spay/neuter, foster, pet pantries, and adoption services going. Papalia said, “Over 1200 animals were adopted by families in Chautauqua, Warren, Cattaraugus, Alleghany, southern Erie County counties and beyond. At CCHS our team is working hard to change lives every day. Social media is filled with pictures of people and their pets and there’s a good chance that the animal in the photo you are looking at has benefited from some service provided by CCHS.”
A very special thank you to our presenting sponsor Happy Hounds Hotel & Day Spa and our media partners Media One Radio Group and WNY News Now as well as the Shults Auto Group.
The mission of the Chautauqua County Humane Society is to improve and save lives through compassionate care, advocacy for animals, and commitment to the community.

CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY SEASON OF HOPE A SUCCESS
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (January 3, 2023) The Chautauqua County Humane Society’s (CCHS) Season of Hope wrapped up Friday, December 30th. The goal to get 100 animals into homes, whether foster or adoptive was met. CCHS Senior Programs Director Brian Papalia said, “We are grateful to the community response to the Season of Hope. We also want to recognize the hard work of our amazing volunteers and staff. We couldn’t have done it without the help of our presenting sponsor Happy Hounds Hotel and Day Spa, Greater Chautauqua Federal Credit Union, and Fessenden Laumer and DeAngelo PLLC, as well as our media sponsors Media One Radio Group, WNY News Now, The Post Journal, and WRFA.”
Due to the intense weather during the week before Christmas, the Season of Hope was extended to Friday, December 30th. Papalia said that led to some very special adoptions, “On the last day of the adoption drive we saw cats Pullman Island and Sparrow head home. Pullman Island came to CCHS with 82 other cats form the north county in July of 2020 and Sparrow came to the shelter in October 2021. Two see two cats go home together is always special, but when you see one of our longest staying residents along with a cat who had been here well over a year, that is just amazing.”
As 2023 kicks off the Chautauqua County Humane Society has many animals that are still looking for homes and are continually taking in new animals that will be readied for adoption. If you would like to learn more about the animals or get involved, please visit Chqhumane.org or stop by the CCHS Adoption Center, 2825 Strunk Road in Jamestown from 1-5:30 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or from 11-3 on Saturday.

GOVERNOR HOCHUL SIGNS LEGISLATION TO END THE PUPPY MILL PIPELINE
Legislation (S.1130/A.4283) Bans the Sale of Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits at Retail Pet Stores
Allows Pet Stores to Charge Shelters Rent to Use Their Space for Adoptions
Governor Kathy Hochul today signed legislation (S.1130/A.4283) to ban the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at retail pet stores, aiming to end the puppy mill-to-pet store pipeline and stop abusive breeders. Based upon an agreement with the Legislature, this legislation will take effect in 2024 and will also allow pet stores to charge shelters rent to use their space for adoptions.
"Dogs, cats and rabbits across New York deserve loving homes and humane treatment," Governor Hochul said. "I'm proud to sign this legislation, which will make meaningful steps to cut down on harsh treatment and protect the welfare of animals across the state."
Legislation (S.1130/A.4283) aims to prevent the buying and selling of animals from large-scale, abusive breeders that lack proper veterinary care, food or socialization. Often times, these animals have health issues resulting from poor breeding and can cost families thousands of dollars in veterinary care. The legislation will continue to allow pet stores to host adoption services in conjunction with animal shelters or rescue organizations to help connect New Yorkers with animals in need of a home.
State Senator Michael Gianaris said, "Today is a great day for our four-legged friends and a big step forward in our fight against abusive and inhumane puppy mills. My thanks to Governor Hochul for standing up for the voiceless loving animals who are members of our families and deserve the respect we've shown them today."
Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal said, "I extend an enormous thank you to Governor Hochul for signing this legislation to shut down the puppy mill pipeline. New York State will no longer allow brutally inhumane puppy mills around the country to supply our pet stores and earn a profit off animal cruelty and unsuspecting consumers. By ending the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in pet stores, shelters and rescues will be able to partner with these stores to showcase adoptable animals and place them into forever homes. Countless families will be spared the heartache of spending thousands on a beloved new pet that is genetically damaged and chronically ill. New York's role as a leader in preventing cruelty to animals will inspire other states to follow suit, and that is something the Governor and all of us can be proud to have accomplished."
