Local pets participating in virtual dog show fundraiser

(WIVT/WBGH) – Local pets are competing for “wagging rights” as the Susquehanna Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals hosts an interactive fundraiser.

Beginning August 19, the SQSPCA is hosting the Fur-tual Reality Dog Show. The competition will feature ten dogs who are seeking votes from the public to encourage donations for shelter animals in need.  Each dollar donated equals one vote with all proceeds benefiting the work of the SQSPCA.

So far, the SQSPCA has raised $3,328 of their $100,000 goal. The competition will run through September 25.

“This campaign season, please remember the animals who need your help. There are no party lines when it comes to caring for vulnerable animals. Please join us and Vote for Dogs at SQSPCA’s Fur-tual Reality Dog Show,” said Stacie Haynes, SQSPCA Executive Director.
