Welcome to the BC SPCA in Victoria.
The BC SPCA operates 31 community animal care centres, two education & adoption centres, three barns, two veterinary hospitals, two spay neuter clinics and Wild ARC, a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Metchosin on Vancouver Island. In addition, we provide provincial services such as animal protection investigations, and community services such as pet food bank in many communities.
Whether you are looking to adopt a new furry friend into your family or would like to know more about how you can make difference for animals in our community, we are here to help.
The BC SPCA is a not-for-profit organization which relies primarily on community donations to help animals in need. Please join us in the fight against animal cruelty!
We are grateful for the support of the City of Victoria in granting a permissive property tax exemption.

*Wild animal drop offs:
Some injured or orphaned wild animals can be dropped off at the Victoria Center for transport to Wild ARC. Due to animal health and safety protocols, the following wild animals are not accepted at Victoria Center: bats, deer fawns, wild Eastern Cottontail rabbits, domestic feral rabbits, and adult river otters, mink, beavers, weasels and raccoons.
Wild animals dropped off at the Victoria Centre must be safely contained prior to arrival and a wild animal intake form must be completed through the BC SPCA Animal Helpline. On arrival, please ring the doorbell and a staff member will assist you at the door.
