SPCA Of Westchester Seeks Help To Rebuild Animal Care Campus

BRIARCLIFF MANOR, NY — The SPCA of Westchester plans to build a brand-new animal care campus. Indoor dog habitats as well as the outdoor shelters and "luxury 4-story condos" for kittens and cats top the list of projects to upgrade the old, cramped facilities in Briarcliff Manor.

The group has already raised more than $8 million of the $9.1 million they want for their RESCUE-RESTORE-REBUILD capital campaign. The SPCA continues to seek support from the community to raise the remaining funds needed to break ground.

“This project is the culmination of the determination and talents of many people who believe in our mission,” said Shannon Laukhuf, Executive Director. “On behalf of the animals we protect and care for, we are extremely grateful to our supporters who have already pledged to make a new and improved SPCA a soon to be reality.”

A modern 27,000 square foot building will replace multiple aged buildings currently on the SPCA’s campus featuring many upgrades including:

• Indoor dog habitats for increased comfort, and outdoor day pens for dogs' enrichment & exercise.
• Luxury 4-story condos and multiple cage-free cattery areas to replicate home-like environments for cats and kittens.
• A state-of-the-art veterinary hospital.
• A large indoor space to serve as a training and enrichment center for dogs.
• A classroom for humane education presentations to local school children, youth groups and the popular Camp Critter day camp.

Founded in 1883, the SPCA of Westchester is a no-kill animal welfare organization and is not affiliated with the ASPCA. Last year, the SPCA supported more than 4,000 companion animals through its many programs and services.
