Stuck in the 100 + Days Club — Let’s Break Them Out!

Some of our best dogs have been waiting over 100 days for their forever homes. They’ve given us their love, their patience, and their trust — but what they really need is a family of their own.

To help make it happen, we’re waiving adoption fees from today through Friday August 29 for every one of our 100+ day dogs.

Prescreening process still applies.

And it’s not just the dogs — every cat age 1 and older is also fee-waived.

👉 If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the time. You’re not just giving an animal a home — you’re giving them back their joy, their comfort, their future.

📞 Call us at 716-731-4368, extension 0, to learn more about who’s waiting.

💙 Meet Luke. 💙

When Luke first came to the Niagara SPCA, he was in rough shape. His mats were so severe that they cut off circulation to his paw — and his leg had to be amputated to save his life.

But thanks to the care and dedication of our team, Luke not only survived — he thrived. Today, he’s an SPCA alum, living his best life on three legs.

This weekend, Luke is walking for the shelter that gave him a second chance. 🐾 Are you walking with him?

Behind the scenes at Niagara SPCA, our dogs get more than just walks and belly rubs — they get cheese trees!

As part of our enrichment program, we spray a little cheese on trees around the property. It encourages our pups to sniff, explore, and problem-solve — all while having the best time.

Enrichment like this helps keep shelter dogs happy, relaxed, and mentally stimulated. A simple activity turns an ordinary walk into an adventure!

We believe that enrichment isn't extra- it's essential!

In the attached video, Max enjoys an Apple Pie Pup Pop as part of our daily rotating enrichment program. Max gives this snack 9 tailwags out of 10—mainly because it was gone too fast. We even had to slow down the footage so you could see the pup pop.

Does it taste like adoption day?!
We hope so!

🎟️ Backstage Pass: Shelter Edition 🎟️
Let’s bust a myth real quick: shelter dogs don’t just sit in kennels all day.

At the Niagara SPCA, every dog gets out for walks, playtime, or activities. We also provide in-kennel enrichment, and for dogs with specific challenges, we take it a step further with targeted behavior support.

Take Herbie. He’s been with us for a while, and during his initial evaluation about eight months ago, he was identified as a dog who couldn’t live with others. But today? Herbie played with another dog. 🐾 He’s still awkward and a little controlling in new introductions, but this was a huge step forward—and we’ll keep working with him.

He’s also one of those dogs who gets so excited to go for a walk that he gives some volunteers a hard time getting out of the kennel—lots of jumping and leash grabbing. So we’ve been focusing on calmer exits, too, using simple strategies that are already helping.

We hear the criticism—some say that because some of our dogs stay with us long term, they must be rotting in kennels. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Our VERY small team has always done a lot with a little. At any given time, we're caring for up to 70 dogs in house. 70 dogs to walk daily, provide enrichment to, support behaviorally. Our team wears a lot of hats, and the reality is, we’re often so busy doing the work that it can be hard to show the work.

We want to give you a closer look- when we can, at what really happens beyond the front lobby. Progress, enrichment, behavior support, and care—all in motion, every day.

(Herbie is the grey and white nugget). The Dane pup is Elsa and she will be available soon.
