We are proud to support these organizations annually and we are so impressed by the work of this year’s recipients.”

“The Cumberland County S.P.C.A. is thrilled to have been chosen as a recipient of an Oxbow Rescue Grant,” said Maria Stoerrle, Rescue Coordinator for Cumberland County. “Our Small Animal Room is home to many lost, abandoned or abused rabbits and guinea pigs and this grant will allow us to provide enrichment materials and experiences that will drastically improve their time at the shelter while they await an adoptive home. We are so excited to be able to provide these important experiences and improvements for our small animals, thanks to Oxbow!”
