Meet Russet! Just like the multitude of things you can do with potatoes, there is a multitude of things you can do with puppies! You can socialize them early so they are confident around new people and in new environments. You can begin training them with tricks and commands. You can slowly introduce them to other animals to make friends. It’s so important for puppies to receive safe socialization which is why Russet is looking for a home. At an estimated 6 months old he already knows sit, is good with leash walking and takes treats very gently. Russet is a big fan of sniffing which provides excellent mental stimulation. He also enjoys receiving affection and takes zero issue with being held and cuddled like the potato he is.

If you have room in your heart and home, plus the patience and understanding that a puppy is still learning, apply today to adopt Russet.

It's Kitten Season! You know what that means! It means that some of the other cats might get overlooked, and we think that's a shame. So turn it up, share it out*, even kittens gotta shout: yeah we got cats.
*-to your friends. That part didn't fit into the clever rhyme scheme

Vaccinating dogs against deadly Parvo is so important. Vaccinating felines against distemper is equally important. The post below lists locations that offer low cost vaccinations. Protecting your furry loved ones helps protect them all. 🐶🐱❤️

Parvo is claiming more and more unvaccinated puppies and adult dogs.

It's so contagious that when a shelter admits a dog who then begins to show symptoms, the shelter has to close its doors to the public for days - and sanitize, sanitize, sanitize, even the soles of their shoes as they move from one area in the shelter to another.

The links below take you to places you can get your dog (and cat) vaccinated. YOU CAN ASK TO HAVE YOUR DOG RECEIVE ONLY THE PARVO VACCINATION. You do not have to buy a package of vaccinations or services.

Unvaccinated dogs require a series of 2 or more shots, depending on their age. You may have to make an appointment for the vaccination.

Fixing to Help updated the links and pricing on 6/2/26.

Cats are equally important! Feline distemper is also highly contagious. Distemper vaccination information is also included below.

Meet Mackenzie 💛 — a 1-year-old house hippo with a BIG personality packed into a small, snorty body!

Mackenzie is VERY excited for her outings. This sweet girl is full of adorable snorts and grunts and has the cutest little personality. Mackenzie is motivated more by toys and affection than treats, and she loves being part of the action. She’ll patiently sit on her bed waiting to be leashed up for her next adventure.

Outside, Mackenzie starts in full go-mode, but once she gets some energy out, she settles down nicely. She would thrive in a home that can give her plenty of cuddles, playtime, and daily neighborhood strolls.

🧸 Loves toys and shredding stuffies
💛 Affectionate and playful
🐽 Professional snorter and grunter

If you’re looking for a fun-sized best friend with endless charm, Mackenzie is ready to steal your heart!

📢 A Quick Note to Our Supporters

A few weeks ago, we experienced an unexpected technical issue that resulted in some adoption applications not being received by our team.

If you submitted an adoption application and have not heard back from us, we sincerely apologize and ask that you please submit your application again.

We understand how exciting—and sometimes emotional—the adoption process can be, and we’re truly sorry for any frustration or disappointment this may have caused.

If you’re still interested in adopting, please reapply through our website or contact us directly with any questions at [email protected].
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support as we work to find loving homes for the animals in our care. ❤️🐾

Thank you,
The CNYSPCA Adoption Team

💛🐾 Community Thank You 🐾💛

We have been incredibly fortunate to receive so much support from our community, and we want to take a moment to thank some amazing groups and individuals who have recently helped our shelter animals.

A heartfelt thank you to Lynde and Howard LeFever and the Exotic Car Club for hosting a wonderful fundraiser in support of the CNY SPCA. Thanks to their generosity and the support of everyone involved, they collected a truckload of donations along with a generous $500 contribution to help care for the animals in our shelter.

We would also like to thank the students, families, and staff of Long Branch Elementary School for organizing a supply drive for our animals. A special highlight was seeing our alumni dog, Macy, return as an ambassador and visit students in their classrooms. Thank you for your compassion and for teaching the next generation the importance of helping animals in need.

Finally, thank you to the Cicero Price Chopper for hosting their annual pet food drive and to all the community members who donated. These supplies will go directly toward caring for the animals at our shelter and helping ensure they have full bellies while they wait for their forever homes.

Your generosity helps provide food, medical care, comfort, and hope to the animals who need it most. Thank you all for being such incredible supporters of the CNY SPCA! 🐶🐱💛
