Overview
Mission
Pet Connection Programs Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3 maternity shelter for dogs & cats. We were founded in 1984 & have saved thousands of animals that had no place else to go since then. The Pet Food Bank: Our shelter was the first organization in Western N.Y to start a pet food bank and distribute food to the elderly, low income individuals and people who live in devastated areas. This service was developed to assist those who could not longer afford their pets. Since the pet sometimes is the only source of companionship and protection for the individual, we found it is important to everyone’s well being. The Pet Therapeutic Program: We bring kitties or pups to the nursing homes for therapy reasons and the residents love holding the them. This program is very important, some residents do not have any family and this program has been a blessing for them. Please help us suppo.
What it reported doing in 2024
