British Columbians are the best in the country when it comes to speaking up for farm animals! In 2016, the province with the most feedback to national Codes of Practice was B.C.

The cat came back, and even if it wasn’t the very next day, it was definitely due to the fact that he had permanent identification, such as an ear tattoo or microchip. At BC SPCA shelters across the province, several animals have been recently reunited with their guardians, thanks to the fact they have permanent pet ID.
Fiver has been in the care of the BC SPCA since March 2016 - much too long for any animal! He is a house-trained, sable coloured, Polish/Angora mixed breed rabbit and is nearly two-years-old. He is looking for an experienced guardian, perhaps one who shares his love of kale and Craisin treats. Could Fiver be the bunny buddy you have been looking for?
When he was just a month old, Cricket was rescued by BC SPCA humane officers in one of the largest puppy mill seizures in B.C. history, now collectively known as the Langley 66. After being treated for medical and psychological issues, Cricket was scooped up by a big loving family, and now has a happy ever after "tail" to share with you.
It’s important to set your new puppy up for success when you bring him home and to remember that everything is new to him and he’ll want to explore. Learn how to make his homecoming a success.
December was a time for thanking, for giving and for showing love to the animals of B.C. See how you and your community gave animals a second chance for a new beginning.
