THE BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
Welcome to the BC SPCA Richmond Education & Adoption Centre website. Each year our branch helps hundreds of animals find new homes. Please note that this facility does not handle lost, found or surrendered animals, that is handled by the Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) and their phone number is 604-275-2036. The BC SPCA currently receives no provincial government funding and is completely reliant on community support. We appreciate all of your support, and for making the BC SPCA your first adoption option!
The man who pleaded guilty to a vicious attack on his two-year-old German shepherd, was sentenced today to a lifetime ban on owning animals, a 60-day jail term and three years’ probation.
With a few weeks until summer break, parents around B.C. still have time to register their children for the BC SPCA’s Among Animals summer camps – but spaces are filling quickly.
Pigs are intelligent, social animals that love to explore and "root" around. Yet pigs raised on Canadian farms are normally kept inside on concrete floors, with females kept in confining stalls that cause great stress and frustration.
The BC SPCA is seeking public input about pressing animal issues facing B.C. communities as it begins a strategic planning process to guide its programs and services from 2014 to 2018.
A Vancouver man who was arrested and charged in two separate cases involving the videotaped torture of kittens and cats was sentenced to 17 month in jail today.
