During the COVID-19 pandemic the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA) requested money from the province of BC to support the continuation of core services deemed essential by the provincial government and support for emergency response during COVID-19 pandemic. This includes operations at 38 of our animal care facilities (Feed Assistance, Animal Hygiene, Habitat Maintenance, Veterinary Costs, Extraordinary Handling and Transportation Costs, Animal Care Equipment Repair, Waste Disposal) and 6 Veterinary Hospitals across the province. Funds were also allocated towards Animal Welfare Enforcement (Cruelty Investigations Department-CID) and increasing our outreach programming capacity. Our outreach programs include specific pet food banks and collaboration with local food banks, emergency boarding services (for those isolating or ill with COVID-19 as well as those fleeing inter-personal violence), food and supply drop offs for remote and Indigenous communities, assistance to seniors and vulnerable people (including urban Indigenous peoples) and their pets.
