Make the BC SPCA your first adoption option!

Each year the BC SPCA finds new homes for thousands of animals - dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and so many more!

By making the BC SPCA your first adoption option you are helping to ensure that great animals find new homes and have a happy life that they deserve. So many of the animals that come into our care have been surrendered by their previous guardians for different reasons, but deserve a second chance at a new beginning. 

If you are looking to find the perfect animal for your family the BC SPCA can help! We have resources available to help you decide what pet might best fit your lifestyle, resources to help you deal with any problems that you may have and information about how to ensure that the pet you choose is not the result of a puppy mill or irresponsible breeder.

For more information about any of these items, please see the list below for answers to any questions that you might have.
