Your Impact

Animals and their people across our province need the BC SPCA’s help every day and over the last few years, demand has skyrocketed. Floods, heat domes, Covid, wildfires, financial insecurity – the reasons for need keep increasing. But the BC SPCA is a constant community presence, providing vulnerable animals and their guardians with critical support such as pet food banks and vet services, emergency boarding assistance, and by serving as a vital resource across the province.

Your generosity changes thousands of animals’ lives. Did you know the BC SPCA is helping almost 120,000 animals a year in B.C.?  YOU make this happen. The millions of dollars raised through Offleashed powers the BC SPCA’s essential programs: sheltering and adoptions, pet food bank and outreach services, veterinary care, wildlife rehabilitation, and summer camps and school programs for kids, to name just a few.

Join us on October 26, 2024 for heartwarming updates on animals your care and compassion saves. No matter what, the BC SPCA will be there for the animals and the people who love them. We know you will be too.

All funds raised at Offleashed power the BC SPCA’s mission work.

I feel inspired to help right now. Please accept my loving gift to change the life of an animal in need.

THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS!

How does my ticket help animals?

We are incredibly grateful to our generous sponsors, whose support helps ensure that funds raised at Offleashed, including from ticket and table sales, contribute to the care and protection of animals. The BC SPCA relies on the donations of individuals and businesses to fund essential services like cruelty investigations, shelter and adoption programs, the animal helpline, and educational initiatives. Your contributions make a lasting difference for animals and the communities that care for them.

What is the dress code for Offleashed?

We call it “fetching” but you can read that as “cocktail” or “business.” And don’t worry, we’ll have lint rollers on hand to help remove all the animal hairs after your visit to the Cuddle Lounge.
