About Buffalo Companion Animal Network . . .
History.
Buffalo Companion Animal Network began as a group of area citizens protesting
the announced end of adoptions at the City of Buffalo Animal
Shelter, part of the city's cost-cutting moves to close its serious budget gap.
Now the group focuses on community-based initiatives in support of animal
welfare.
