The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) kicked off the annual Pennies 4 Paws drive on Wednesday, February 12^th! Our goal this year is to raise $25,000 for the homeless pets that rely on CCHS life-saving services. CCHS Director of Fundraising and Communication, Brian Papalia said, “To celebrate the 120^th anniversary of CCHS, we are making Pennies 4 Paws a year-round program to allow the opportunity for more schools, groups, and people to get involved.” Pennies 4 Paws ties directly into the CCHS mission of empowering the community to improve the lives of animals. CCHS plans to celebrate the top Pennies 4 Paws donors with a special leader board on Chqhumane.org, and a special recognition in late December.

Brian said it’s easy to get involved, “Canisters are available for pick up at CCHS, 2825 Strunk Road in Jamestown, or you can make it fun by emailing bpapalia@chqhumane.org or messaging the CCHS Facebook page, and we can send you the official 2025 Pennies 4 Paws canister wrap so you can set up your very own donation canister. The more creative and eye-catching the better!” Call CCHS 716-665-2209 and we will also be happy to drop a canister off to you.

When you support Pennies 4 Paws you are helping to keep critical programs like adoptions, spay and neuter services, and the pet pantry, alive. CCHS is not affiliated financially in any way with any other animal welfare organization. Our protocols and policies are unique to CCHS, a completely independent organization that does not receive any city, county, state, or federal tax funding. The important programs and services of the Chautauqua County Humane Society are possible only through the generosity of caring people and organizations who support CCHS. We want to thank the Media One Group of Radio Stations, Supportive Divorce Solutions, and Shults Auto Group for supporting Pennies 4 Paws!
