Q - I've heard about some horses that may be sold for slaughter. Will the BC SPCA rescue them or know who can?

The BC SPCA rescues and cares for as many horses as possible who are suffering from neglect or abuse. As of 2010, more than $123,000 has gone towards the rescue, transport, board and care.

To help with re-homing and adoption of horses in British Columbia, we recommend contacting the Horse Council of B.C. who can provide a list of groups in B.C. that specialize in fostering and providing adoption services for horses.
