The BC SPCA is cutting adoption fees in an effort to make space at its locations for animals displaced by wildfires.
The promotion, which runs from July 20 to 30, will see a 50 per cent reduction in adoption fees.
Lorie Chortyk of the BC SPCA said the society hopes the promotion will help clear shelter space for animals affected by wildfires in the province. So far more than 80 animals in need of emergency boarding have been placed at various shelter locations, pushing capacity to the limit.
“We want to do everything we can for these people,” she said. “If we can provide that free temporary care for their pets and they know that their pet is somewhere safe until they can claim them again — if that’s one worry that we can take off of them during such a devastating time — we’re so happy to help with that.”
Those interested in adopting a pet are encouraged to visit the BC SPCA website.
