PENNIES 4 PAWS CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BIRTHDAY
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (January 31, 2019) – The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is excited to announce the fourteenth annual Pennies 4 Paws campaign, which will kick off February 12 and will run through the end of April. The campaign will benefit the animals at CCHS significantly by providing essential care and rehabilitation to animals in need of help.
Donate now!
In 2018, CCHS provided services for well over 4,000 animals, including 1,272 that found homes. These animals come with a variety of needs including food, shelter, medical care, and training supplies. CCHS bears the financial burden that arises from the cost of these services, and in 2019 the cost of care has risen sharply.
On average, it costs CCHS $600 a week to feed the animals that are at the shelter and in foster care. “The cost of owning a pet can add up, CCHS is caring for 125 or more animals on any given day,” said Brian Papalia, CCHS Community Relations Director. “From the cost of food and medical care to the rising cost of paying those that care for these animals, the financial load is overwhelming.”
The Pennies 4 Paws campaign hopes to collect 1.5 million pennies, or $15,000, by the end of the campaign. Pennies 4 Paws is supported by Happy Hounds Hotel and Day Spa, the Shults Auto Group, and Seresto. The Media One Radio Group is the official media sponsor which is made up of SE-93, 101.9 WHUG, 103.1 The Fox, Kiss 106.9, 1240am & 101.3 WJTN and 1340am WKSN. CCHS encourages schools, social organizations, individuals and businesses to fundraise in a variety of ways including bake sales, school hat days, dress down days, pop bottle/can drives and other special events. Although pennies are the most common, CCHS accepts any and all monetary donations. Donations can also be made at SPCAPETS.COM.

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.
