When adopting a pet, they become an integral member of the family. This means that we make the commitment to them to give them the best life we possibly can. Sometimes, we also experience trauma with them—but this can make the bond even stronger. When Amanda and her husband adopted Eddie from the BC SPCA …
However often we may believe that we are the ones who adopt our pets, really, most of the time they choose us. This was certainly the case for Joanne and her husband when they met Timothy at the BC SPCA Williams Lake Community Animal Centre in December 2021. Of course, they immediately fell in love …
Most people know that our organization’s acronym stands for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. But you may not know just what it takes sometimes to honour this vital mandate.

While kittens and younger cats are widely popular when it comes to adoption, our senior feline friends deserve just as much attention.

The story could have been very different for three stray, six-week-old kittens had they not been brought to the BC SPCA East Kootenay Community Animal Centre. But on September 27, 2021, when a kind Samaritan brought Olive and her siblings to us, their story changed from that of struggling outdoor cats to that of treasured …
On May 13, 2016, a one-year-old, stray Lynx Point Siamese, found in Williams Lake, was brought into the BC SPCA Sea to Sky Branch. She gave birth to a litter of five kittens of assorted colours and coat lengths. Olive was one of those kittens. Mom and babies were housed with one of our wonderful foster …
On April 3, 2018, a three-year-old, 44 kg purebred Dogo Argentino was surrendered to the BC SPCA Vernon Branch, as his family could no longer care for him. When he first came to the shelter, he was unsure and fearful. A professional behaviour assessment by staff determined this big, very powerful, protective canine needed a breed …
