BC SPCA Salt Spring Island Branch

Welcome to the Salt Spring Island Branch of the BC SPCA. Each year we help hundreds of animals find new homes. Our website will help our supporters, adopters and future adopters to learn more about the animals that we are currently sheltering, view our volunteer opportunities, highlight fundraising events and so much more!  The BC SPCA is a not-for-profit organization. With only 1.5% of operating costs supported by government funding last year, the BC SPCA is reliant upon community support like yours. We appreciate all of your support, and for making the BC SPCA your first adoption option!

In the news Pup-a-razzi Day a big success May 18, 2012 The BC SPCA wants to thank all volunteer photographers who donated their time on May 16 for the BC SPCA’s first ever “Pup-a-razzi Day” Putting families first: When to help wildlife and when to leave alone May 16, 2012 Patience pays when it comes to handling a wild family who has made your home their home. Wildlife feeding can lead to more harm than good May 15, 2012 Feeding wildlife may seem like an enjoyable way to connect with nature, but often it leads to serious problems for species like squirrels, raccoons, deer, and bears, doing more harm than good. Even bird feeding is controversial and the pros and cons of the activity need to be considered along with the responsibilities that come with it. You’re invited… to the BC SPCA Annual Open House May 10, 2012 The BC SPCA invites you to an animal-themed day of fun this May. Open House events take place at the South Okanagan and Campbell River branches this Sunday, May 12, as well as at the Alberni-Clayoquot branch on May 26 and the North Peace branch on June 9. Adopt a senior animal this month May 8, 2012 There are dozens of reasons to adopt an older cat or dog, but only one that really matters: It’s the right thing to do.
