Solomon

Adopted January 22, 2023 from

Our animals who need the most critical care are often the most rewarding adoptees. Just like Solomon, they have so much to be grateful for—and they certainly don’t shy away from showing their appreciation. When our fellow volunteer, Kathy, saw Solomon’s profile in January 2023, she felt a duty to help this senior feline in …

Pearl

Adopted June 11, 2023 from

Everybody will want to tune in to this love story. It’s a beautiful “tail” of a rescue, but it also speaks to our quest here at the BC SPCA to find the right match between adopters and animals in our care, regardless of factors that others might judge. Tiny, one-week-old Pearl and her siblings and …

Kassi

Adopted March 24, 2007 from

When we make a match between one of our shelter animals and a family, we aim to give each animal a forever home where it can thrive. And that’s just what happened when a lovely couple walked into the BC SPCA Cowichan Community Animal Centre many years ago.  Read on for the lovely story of …

Sizeable Suzie

Adopted August 14, 2023 from

With a supportive environment and loving care, the impact we can make on our animals’ lives is huge. When Suzie was found as a stray and brought into the BC SPCA Cowichan Community Animal Centre in July 2023, she clearly needed a helping hand to get back on track. She deserved guardians who would be …

Ivar

Adopted April 1, 2017 from

When Ivar was found as a stray and came to the BC SPCA South Okanagan/Similkameen Community Animal Centre in June 2017, we didn’t know much about him. Well, except for one thing: this boy had boundless energy. After getting to know Ivar, we discovered how much he loved to adventure, jump and howl. His new …

Nova

Adopted December 8, 2023 from

When we give our animals the stability, trust and loving environment they need, that’s when they truly flourish. When Guy adopted Nova from the BC SPCA Kelowna Community Animal Centre in December 2023, he heard some stories about Nova’s past, which indicated she didn’t exactly thrive in her previous situation. Nevertheless, Guy only saw the …

Patches

Adopted December 8, 2018 from ,

Beautiful Patches was one of seven kitties who were surrendered to the BC SPCA East Kootenay Animal Centre on November 13, 2018. We often use our Drive for Lives program to transfer animals to larger centres to give them a better chance to meet potential adopters. That’s how Patches happened to be at the BC …

Dusty

Adopted March 23, 2023 from

The first seven months of Dusty’s life must have been stressful. When he and his two siblings were surrendered to an Animal Protection Officer on February 8, 2023, he was very fearful. At the BC SPCA Parksville-Qualicum Beach Community Animal Centre our staff worked with this sweet, shy Australian Shepherd until he would take treats …

Slippers

Adopted November 28, 2023 from

On October 6, 2023, 11 cats and kittens from Quesnel came into our care at the BC SPCA Tri-Cities Education & Adoption Centre in Coquitlam. The person who brought them to us did the right thing. That act saved needless suffering and multiple more animal births that would have contributed to the ongoing cat overpopulation problem. …

Evee

Adopted November 17, 2023 from

Once we adopt our animal companion, they become such a huge part of our world that it can be difficult to imagine our life before their presence. Angela knew she was meant to have a cat in her life, but her parents were not so convinced it was a good idea. Then, Evee came along and …
