I spent the night at the shelter for the first time! The dogs were so sweet and snuggly and the staff were incredibly friendly and supportive and helpful!

Erie Humane Society "Night at the Shelter" was such an amazing experience, and I was thankful to be able to participate in this fundraiser. Fatboy was the best. I pray that someone sees him and adopts him soon.

I had to surrender my pets. It was extremely difficult. They were very understanding and kind. The facility was very clean and cheery. They reassured me that my wonderful pets would have good homes.
