Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
The CNYSPCA was founded in 1891 for the purpose of preventing abuse to draft animals pulling barges on the Erie Canal. Over the past 126 years the CNYSPCA has grown to provide protection for and to prevent cruelty to all animals.
What is your primary product or service?
The CNYSPCA provides shelter, care and medical attention for stray, unwanted and abused animals, with strong emphasis on placing these animals in loving, responsible homes. No animal is euthanized for the sole purpose of making room for another and we work to ensure that homeless and unwanted cats and dogs through CNY have a quality alternative to a life of abuse, neglect or abandonment with an active education program and cruelty investigate. In addition, CNYSPCA provides several humane education programs throughout CNY. By providing educational opportunities about responsible pet ownership and handling, CNYSPCA connects community members to animals in a fun and positive manner. We partner with students, seniors, and community based clubs to organize presentations and off-site adoption events.
