The British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA)

The BC SPCA was established over 125 years ago and we continue to grow stronger every year. We are a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to protecting vulnerable animals and mobilizing communities so animals and people thrive together in British Columbia. Today, we provide a wide range of services and programs to help more than 45,000 animals in distress and in need each year. The BC SPCA was created under the auspices of the provincial Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, and is the only animal welfare organization in B.C. which has the authority to enforce laws relating to animal cruelty and to prepare cases for Crown Counsel for the prosecution of individuals who inflict suffering on animals.
