Pierogi Fundraiser Garners $2700!
Thank you to everyone who bought and sold pierogies—all 773 dozen of them! Because of the overwhelming support, Gosia’s Pierogies had to push production and delivery back one week.
Beginning Saturday, April 2, 2002, the pierogies will be available for pickup at the SNYP Clinic in Seneca. A PPAR volunteer will call you when your order has been sorted and is ready. Please be sure to bring a cooler or an appropriate container or bag to transport your frozen pierogies. Some ice packs will be available for those who need them.
Thanks again for your support! Here’s to pets and pierogies!

PLEASE READ REGARDING COVID-19
Due to the urgent need of social distancing, effective immediately, the following procedures have been put in place for everyone’s safety:
- Non-emergent surgeries and elective appointments have been canceled until further notice. If you have an appointment already scheduled, we will call you to reschedule. Due to the uncertainty of the duration of the quarantines, we are not scheduling elective surgeries at this time.
- The SNYP veterinary clinic will remain open for illness and sick appointments. If your animal is ill or injured, please call the clinic at 814-676-8581 and speak to staff. Our hours of operation will be: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday from 8 AM until 6 PM. We are closed Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
- Should any of our employees become ill, we will close the facility to allow employees to focus on being well.
- Upon arrival for an appointment, please do NOT come into the facility, instead:
1. Call the clinic and a staff member will come out to get your pet, discuss your pet’s condition and get a number for you to be reached.
2. The vet will examine your pet, recommend a treatment plan, and contact you by phone as needed for authorization.
3. After treatment, your pet will be brought out to your car along with a copy of charges so you can pay your bill. - Prescriptions will be filled – call the clinic at 814-676-8581 and tell us what you need. Prescriptions can be mailed to you, called into a pharmacy, or picked up.
- Please consider if your need is urgent. If it is not, we ask that you exercise discretion, stay home and be well.
Thank you for your understanding and your support. We are all in this together!

Let’s raise $10K !
Want to help save more than 1 million cats? Over the span of 7 years, just one unspayed cat can produce nearly 5,000 offspring! An extremely generous local business has offered a **$5,000* matching fund for a spay fund to help curb the growing stray cat problem in the area. However, we must first raise $5,000 ourselves in order to receive the match. – that’s a total of $10,000!
We only have until October 1, 2019 to raise this money. Please donate today (via Facebook), or contact PPAR and make a donation directly to our organization. Thank you for your continued support, and help spread the word for PPAR!

Pennsylvania Animal Laws Increases Protection for Animals
We’re very excited to see new animal laws in Pennsylvania, which will limit tethering (dogs tied outside 24×7), increase penalties for animal cruelty, protect horses, and offer protection from officials who report abuse. Kudos to the PA State Legislature and Governor Wolf for signing the bill into law.
