TYLER \u2013 The SPCA of East Texas is asking the community to help them stay open after a recent downturn in donations. The nonprofit animal shelter told KETK News that they\u2019ve received about $100,000 less in donations than they expected to this year, and that they might have to close down if they can\u2019t make up for this financial shortfall.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, when we\u2019re talking about a shortfall like that, it\u2019s the animals that really suffer because we have to look at cutting back on services,\u201d SPCA of East Texas executive director Emily Heglund said. \u201cTomorrow\u2019s Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2 and we\u2019re asking for the community to step up and help us out with donations if they can.\u201d<\/p>\n
To donate, visit the SPCA of East Texas online. The SPCA is also taking physical donations of supplies like pet food and cat litter in person at 3245 W. Grande Blvd in Tyler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
