COOPERSTOWN – It hasn’t been easy, but in the year since the Susquehanna SPCA launched its "Shelter Us" capital campaign to build a new animal shelter, more than $3.2 million has been donated towards the project.
“We’ve had a lot of support, and we’re so grateful,” said Stacie Haynes, executive director. “But it’s always challenging. We’re trying to raise money for our capital campaign, but also we need to raise funds for our annual operations, keeping the lights and heat on and the animals fed.”
Although the SQSPCA’s original goal was $2 million, additions to the planned project have pushed the fundraising goal to $5 million.
