To create temporary emergency boarding shelter spaces for animals affected by wildfire throughout the province, BC SPCA is seeking homes for animals currently in its care.
“Our goal is to create capacity for as many animals needing free temporary shelter as possible, while at the same time finding wonderful homes for the animals currently in our care,” stated Lorie Chortyk, general manager of communications for the BC SPCA, in a media release.
Half-price adoptions, a promotion that takes place from July 20 to 30, is an initiative to free up space in BC SPCA locations.
“We are offering 50 per cent off adoption fees of all companion animals – dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals,” stated Chortyk. “We encourage anyone who has been thinking about adopting a pet to take advantage of this promotion. You will not only be providing a loving home for a deserving animal in our care, but it will also help the BC SPCA’s emergency response for animals in crisis.”
BC SPCA has provided free emergency boarding for more than 80 animals since the fires began through its shelters and at a BC SPCA Animal Evacuation Centre set up in Kamloops on July 7, according to the release.
