Join us for the annual Offleashed Gala, where your love, compassion and action come together to transform the lives of animals in need. This unforgettable evening isn’t just a celebration – it’s a movement to create a future where animals and humans thrive together.

Offleashed has a fresh new look, along side the same incredible experiences you cherish. From heartwarming rescue stories to exclusive auction items, every moment is a reminder that you have the power to change lives. And, of course, our famous cuddle lounge awaits, where rescued animals will share their gratitude in the best way they know how – snuggles!

Your presence isn’t just a ticket to an incredible night – you’re a loving lifeline for animals who need you most. By attending, you become a caring voice for change to prevent suffering, while kindly providing urgent medical care, shelter, and a second chance at happiness to vulnerable animals across B.C.

Because when we come together, we don’t just celebrate – we save lives!

Your support makes the BC SPCA’s work possible.
