BC SPCA: Main

Welcome to the Nanaimo & District Branch of the BC SPCA.

Each year we help thousands of animals find new homes.

Our new website will help our supporters, adopters and future adopters to learn more about the animals that we are currently sheltering, offer volunteer opportunities, highlight fundraising events and so much more!

We appreciate all of your support!
