​Can I adopt a horse from the BC SPCA?

Yes, you can adopt horses from the BC SPCA. Horses come into the care of the BC SPCA as a result of cruelty investigations. These horses are rehabilitated on-site at the BC SPCA Good Shepherd Barn, the Kelowna Recovery & Adoption Barn, or in foster homes across the province. Interested in fostering horses? Apply to become a foster home online.

Viewings are by appointment. A completed adoption application  and a home check are required as part of the adoption process.

Adoption fees vary from $250 to $750, or more. Basic medical exams are performed by a veterinarian when horses are in our care; however, it is recommended that potential adopters carry out pre-purchase exams when considering horse adoption.
