In celebration of Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet-Day on April 30th, the BC SPCA is offering 50% off adoption fees from Thursday, April 25th to Sunday, May 5th.
BC SPCA animal centres will also be hosting open houses on Saturday, April 27th—so, you can have a wander and maybe even find your best furry friend!
“The open houses are an opportunity for the public to learn more about what the BC SPCA does and see all of the ways we care for animals in our community,” says Adrienne McBride, the BC SPCA’s senior director at the community animal centres.
“It also gives us a chance to shine a light on some of the amazing animals in our centres who have been patiently waiting for their forever home.”
For example, the Victoria BC SPCA is currently housing an adorable Bullmastiff/Rottweiler dog named Teddy!
Teddy is three-years-old and has been living at the shelter for over 160 days, waiting for his forever home—which would include confident pet owners who are okay with continuing obedience training.
He’s a big softy that doesn’t quite understand how large he is, so younger children might not be suitable but older children are fine, and he loves other dogs too!
Another long-term resident looking for her forever home, is the cuddly cat, Sophia!
She is a six-year-old domestic shorthair and needs to be the queen of her castle—this means no other animals in the house so she can hog all of your love and attention.
Sophia also needs attentive parents as she has unfortunately had on and off diarrhea for a large portion of her life and this will likely continue.
The SPCA believes it is a dietary/bacterial issue, so she’ll need to be on a hydrolyzed protein/allergenic diet her whole life.
This has caused infrequent accidents where she doesn’t quite make it to the litter box, although this isn’t super common.

Happy searching and we hope you find your newest family member.
