BC SPCA

BC SPCA is an animal protection society with several centres based in Vancouver, in the British Columbia region of Canada. It takes in dogs and cats that have been abandoned, surrendered by their families or found without a home, and gives them a safe place while they wait for a new family.

Its team provides food, daily care and veterinary attention, with vaccination, neutering and microchipping before adoption. People who wish to adopt can meet the animals, talk with the staff and complete an adoption process designed around the welfare of each dog and each cat.

Beyond adoptions, it promotes temporary fostering, volunteering and education about responsible pet ownership in its community. Those who cannot adopt can still help by volunteering, fostering an animal for a while or donating food and supplies.
