The South Okanagan/Similkameen Branch of the B.C. SPCA will hold an animal-themed day of fun on Saturday, May 25.
The event, presented by Hill’s Science Diet, will run from 1 to 4 p.m. at the South Okanagan/Similkameen SPCA, 2200 Dartmouth Dr., Penticton.
Highlights include educational displays, shelter tours, free nail trimming, bake sale, professional photos of you and your pet and a barbecue.
The branch will also promote the joy of pet guardianship over the weekend, May 24 to 26, with half-price adoption fees on all cats, kittens and rabbits.
“We’re also asking members of the community to help animals in need by dropping off urgently needed items for the shelter,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the B.C. SPCA.
Chortyk says the open house event is an opportunity for people to meet the animals available for adoption and to have fun learning more about how to help animals in the community.
“We are really excited to continue our ongoing partnership with the B.C. SPCA for the Annual Open House series,” says Brian Howard, general manager for Hill’s Canada.
