BC SPCA Vernon & District Branch

Welcome to the Vernon 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.

If you love to organize events we would love to have your help! Various events are being planned for 2012 and we could use some extra hands to make sure they are a success. If you are interested, please contact Corinne at 250-549-7297. We are also in need of dog walkers and volunteers to help with dog and cat kennel cleaning. Foster families (for cats and kittens in particular) are also in big demand so please contact us at the shelter if you would like to lend a paw.
