Our Mission

What your hard work makes paws-sible!

The funds you raise for the Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause allow the BC SPCA to carry out its mission to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. We seek to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals enjoy as a minimum, five essential freedoms:  

1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease

3. Freedom from distress

4. Freedom from discomfort

5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
