Support for Animals Goes Virtual at SQSPCA with Fur-tual Reality Dog Show

COOPERSTOWN—The Susquehanna Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is having some real fun with a new virtual event, the Fur-tual Reality Dog Show, which launched on August 19 and runs for six weeks through September 25. Canine contestants are seeking the votes of the public to encourage donations and earn "wagging" rights. In the spirit of friendly competition, whose dog can raise the most money for animals in need? Each dollar donated equals one vote, with all proceeds benefiting shelter animals and the work of the SQSPCA.

The fundraiser showcases fabulous dogs in the community, each with a unique story of how they joined their family.

“The human-animal bond is strong, and so important to the wellbeing of both. We honor this connection in the work we do for animals in need of care across the region and families who love and welcome companion animals into their lives,” said Stacie Haynes, SQSPCA executive director.
