Adoption
To view all available adoptable animals, please see our adoptable animal listings. When an animal is adopted, they will be removed from the listing (within 4 hours of adoption).
Please note, even though this website is live and updates frequently, we cannot ensure the animal is still available for adoption when you arrive at the animal centre. There is a chance the animal may have been adopted by the time you arrive, or another party might be going through the adoption process at the time. For more information, please contact the animal centre caring for the animal, as listed on the animal’s profile page.
The quick answer is yes! However, you still have to meet our four non-negotiable factors and the animal needs to be matched to the person receiving the animal as a gift. Please visit your local BC SPCA animal centre or check out our adoptable animals. Learn more, watch our video on giving pets as gifts:
While being an animal guardian is an invaluable experience, there are certain costs associated with adopting your pet. The adoption fee that we charge helps to cover our cost of caring for animals, while we find them loving homes.

Adoption fees vary by animal and by animal centre. For specific fees in your region, check with your local animal centre or learn more about what’s included in your adoption fee.
Every adoption is unique and the time it takes to adopt varies. Some animals can go home the same day if they are successfully matched. Visit our adoptable animals section to start your search today.
The BC SPCA Drive for Lives program transfers more than 4,000 animals each year throughout the province to increase their chances of adoption. Depending on your location, and the location and status of the animal you’re interested in, we may be able to bring the animal to a BC SPCA facility closer to you. Please contact your local animal centre to learn more.
To give adopters more adoption locations and to help more animals find their forever homes, the BC SPCA partners with local pet retailers and veterinary clinics that host offsite adoption centres.
Offsite adoption centres are a great option for people who are not comfortable with visiting an animal care facility. View a list of our adoption partner locations.
Veterinary clinics or other retailers interested in becoming an BC SPCA satellite adoption site are invited to call the BC SPCA at 604-681-7271.
