AKRON, N.Y. (WKBW) — A long-awaited ribbon cutting in Akron, as the White Whiskers Senior Sanctuary officially opened its Lewis Road location to the public Saturday.
Polla Milligan founded White Whiskers in 2019 and, with the help of her team of volunteers, has since rehomed more than 200 dogs in the Western New York area.
We spoke with Milligan back in August. You can read more here or watch below.
"I've retired from the Niagara SPCA, and the next day I started this because I saw how many old dogs come to the shelter and no one adopts them," said Milligan. "Everybody wants puppies, which I understand, but nevertheless it's very sad. So I said, okay, something must be done."
The sanctuary currently has 25 adoptable dogs between the ages of 7 and 17, and will be accepting dogs 7 or older.
