JAMESTOWN – The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is set to launch its 8th annual Pennies 4 Paws campaign on Tuesday, February 12.
Pennies 4 Paws encourages county individuals, schools, organizations and businesses to participate by selling paper paws for one dollar each and/or displaying a collection container. This year CCHS is hoping to raise 17 million pennies in order to help with the escalating expense of basic care and medical costs for homeless animals in the county.
Humane Society officials say every contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference. One dollar will feed a small dog in the shelter for six days and a large dog for three. Seven dollars can provide a microchip and spay/neuter costs for CCHS start at thirty-five dollars and go up from there.
A pet receives on average approximately $25 in vaccinations.
