MEET OUR NEXT CHEF-Joseph Penta🍽 "Born and raised along the shores of Lake Ontario, I’ve spent more than 20 years building a career in the food service industry, working in restaurants, hospitality leadership, and operational roles across Oklahoma City, Utica/Syracuse, Columbia, Charlotte, and now Elmira. Those experiences—and the communities I’ve been part of—shaped my love for food as a way to connect people and create shared moments. Growing up, food was our gathering place—where family came together, conversations flowed, and connection happened—and that sense of community around the table has stayed with me throughout my career. Today, I work in Training and Development, but my culinary roots remain a big part of who I am. I’m also a proud paw-rent to two shelter pups, Ginger and Koa, whose stories inspire my commitment to rescue advocacy. Supporting the SPCA is close to my heart, and I’m truly honored to be one of this year’s Celebrity Chefs for such a meaningful event."

MEET YOUR NEXT CELEBRITY CHEF- Sharidy Grapes🍽️ "Born and raised in Elmira, I am proud mother of two children and a dedicated wife. I currently run a plumbing, heating and HVAC company with my husband. I spend my days caring for my family and balancing the work life of a self-employed family. My biggest joy is caring for the people that I love and making them feel special and appreciated. I am blessed to be the furry mother to my best friend, Figgaro. Figgaro came into our lives at just a 12-week- old puppy that no one wanted. He was the last pick of the litter and seemed to know it. His eyes lit up the moment that my husband and I entered the room and sat on the floor to play with him. The rest was history, and he has been a spoiled rotten puppy for the last 11 years. He is a timid boy, but loves with his whole entire tiny self. My love of cooking came ironically from the cooking channel and watching several cooking shows on how to learn to cook. I consider myself a “home chef” and definitely not a baker as my ability to follow directions and measure is sometimes lacking. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the happiness on people’s faces after I have cooked for them. Our house has become the go to for family events, from family dinner every Sunday to any reason to celebrate an event or holiday. All are welcome to come enjoy food, family, friendship and escape. My affection for animals came early on in life with my very first dog as a child. Since then, I have supported as many animal causes as I feasibly can. The SPCA is dear to my heart as I have rescued many cats over the years. Perhaps another soon if I can convince my husband. I am looking forward to meeting you, contributing to a great cause and hopefully cooking something that makes your mouth water and your stomachs wanting more."

Congratulations to all of these wonderful little babies who found their furever families this week! We are so happy for you all. We wish you all a lifetime of love, playtime, warm snuggles, and wet kisses!💚

COLD WEATHER TIP FOR PETS: Massaging petroleum jelly or other paw protectants into paw pads before going outside can help protect from salt and chemical agents. Booties provide even more coverage and can also prevent sand and salt from getting lodged between bare toes and causing irritation. Use pet-friendly ice melts whenever possible.

COLD WEATHER SAFETY TIPS❄️ The cold weather can be tough on us, but it can also be tough on our furbabies. Make sure you pay attention to the temperature and the wind chill. If it's too cold for you, it is probably too cold for them. Please make sure your furbabies are inside, where it is safe and warm during these freezing days and nights. If they can not be inside, be sure they have appropriate outdoor housing that will keep them warm, dry, and safe.

**WE ARE CLOSED TODAY** We apologize for any inconvenience, but we will be closed today, January 3rd. We will reopen on Tuesday, January 6th at 11am.
