The BC SPCA invites you to visit your local SPCA for an animal-themed day of fun this month. Open House events, presented by Hill’s® Science Diet®, will take place on Saturday, May 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. at most SPCA locations across B.C. (check your local branch website beginning May 13 for more details).

In addition to featuring pets looking for loving homes, activities at BC SPCA Open House events will include shelter tours, education booths and games for kids. Food and refreshments will also be provided.

“We’re also asking members of the community to help animals in need by dropping off urgently needed items for the shelter,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Wish list items include cans of Hill’s® brand wet cat and dog food, red or black KONG™ dog toys, office supplies, soft treats and cat wand toys.”
