Collaring kindness
Collars are important for your dog to have, so you can fasten an ID tag, a license and leash, but it’s important to ensure your canine pal has the right kind of collar. Watch our video to learn about the different collars available and which collars are best suited for safe, corrective training.

Animal-friendly food for Canadians
The latest version of Canada’s Food Guide takes a big step towards animal welfare with a focus on plant-based options and home cooking. A staple in our country’s food planning since 1942, the new Guide encourages unprocessed, local food that will benefit both the environment and the lives of farm animals across the country.

Jupiter.jpg
Adopt me!
Jupiter is a cute little dwarf rabbit who was surrendered to the BC SPCA when his previous guardians were moving and could not take him along. Jupiter is a pretty shy rabbit and will need a rabbit experienced person to work with him on socialization and handling. Given time with a patient and gentle guardian he will hopefully come out of his shell and make a fun little companion.

Happy "tails"
Arrow was less than a week old when he came under the care of the BC SPCA as a stray in April, 2016. This little tabby needed to grow a bit stronger in order for us to feel he was safe enough to settle into a forever home; so for a period of time, he was in foster care so he could receive the kind of really focused attention newborn kittens need. Read how his life has turned around in this happy "tail".

Think small
Smaller animals can be fun to interact with, so long as we keep their needs in mind. Respecting their wishes, rather than just grabbing them, goes a long way in building trust.
