In a media release, general manager of communications Lorie Chortyk said the organization desperately needs space to accommodate displaced animals.
“The goal of this promotion is to create more room to house as many animals requiring free temporary boarding as possible, by finding amazing forever homes for the animals in our care,” she said. “We hope anyone who has been thinking about adopting a pet will take advantage of this opportunity.”
The BC SPCA has been providing free emergency boarding for displaced pets in the Interior, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island since flooding began the week of Nov. 15. In addition, the organization has been donating crates, pet food, leashes and other supplies to emergency shelters.
B.C. residents interested in adopting can visit the BC SPCA website at spca.bc.ca to learn more.
