🎂 Looking for a birthday party that’s fun, educational, and filled with furry and feathered friends?

The SPCA Serving Erie County has announced that it is now officially booking animal-themed birthday parties for children ages 6 to 12!

These special celebrations offer children an opportunity to enjoy their big day while learning about compassion, responsible animal care, and the important work of the SPCA.

🐶 WHAT CAN PARTYGOERS EXPECT?

Each birthday celebration includes:

🐾 A welcome from an SPCA Humane Educator.
