Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - There are a lot of tails wagging at the SPCA Serving Erie County after Wednesday's annual Radiothon.
At the end of the 12-hour event, SPCA Chief Communications Officer Gina Lattuca announced that just over $112,000 had been donated by the Western New York community.
"We were thrilled to announce $112,000. But I'm even more thrilled to announce today that the total has climbed even higher," Lattuca said during an appearance on WBEN this Friday. "We are at $120,000 from the community for the Radiothon. We are beyond thankful to every single person who contributed in some way."
Lattuca credits a strong connection between the community and the SPCA.
"It's the one place where we do it all. Dog rescues, cat rescues, adoptions, farm animals. We have a fully outfitted wildlife rehabilitation center. No other place does all of this," she added.
The annual event often turns into an adoptathon. The shelter received a transport of puppies just before the Radiothon and Lattuca said they still have a few puppies left, since the shelter was closed Thursday due to a snow day.

People can still give to the Radiothon until 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday at yourspca.org.
The SPCA Radiothon was dedicated to the memory of WBEN News and Traffic anchor Allan Harris, who died last weekend.
