Stickers featuring Enzo are now available at the college and many outlets across the area for $5 each. All proceeds will be given to Elmore SPCA to support their operations and needs. The organization provides comfort and shelter to animals who are waiting for their second chance homes.

"Everyone at Elmore SPCA would like to thank Clinton Community College and Enzo for helping to provide for our shelter animals," said Laurie Parsons, board president of Elmore SPCA. "There are significant hurdles ahead facing New York state animal shelters, but we know that we will be successful in meeting these challenges with the generous support of our community."
