April 30 is Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet-Day and to have fun, the BC SPCA is providing 50 per cent off adoption charges from Thursday, April 25 by way of Sunday, May 5 in any respect its areas, proudly sponsored by our pals at Hill’s Pet Nutrition. BC SPCA animal centres can even be internet hosting open homes on Saturday, April 27.
“The open houses are an opportunity for the public to learn more about what the BC SPCA does and see all of the ways we care for animals in our community,” says Adrienne McBride, the BC SPCA’s senior director, neighborhood animal centres. “It also gives us a chance to shine a light on some of the amazing animals in our centres who have been patiently waiting for their forever home,” says McBride.
Like Soro, a two-year-old shepherd combine, who’s available for adoption on the BC SPCA’s South Peace animal centre. “Soro came to us with horrible wounds to his chest, chin and underarms in July of last year,” she says. “It isn’t a surprise that he was initially distrustful of people, given his injuries, but after many surgeries, and countless wound dressings, his true personality has begun to shine. He is a big dog with a big heart who deserves a loving home.”
Some of the cats at present available for adoption are ones that have been surrendered from a property in Houston, B.C. “Obviously, taking in that number of cats at one time, has meant that space for other animals who need the BC SPCA’s care is in short supply right now,” says McBride. “Many of these cats are not as outgoing as some of the others available for adoption who have experienced what being in a home and giving and receiving affection looks like, so they can be overlooked by potential families. We want to remind people that with some time, these lovely cats will make the best addition to a family.”
Like Athena, a one-year-old cat on the lookout for a serene, quiet place to name home, who’s available for adoption on the Kelowna animal centre. “She was under socialized when she first came into the centre but has always been very gentle and patient with staff,” says McBride. “She has really come out of her shell in the short time she has been with us. Athena adores having her chin and forehead brushed and lounging in her cat tree.”
