The Celebration
Save the date – you won’t want to miss Vancouver’s biggest event to celebrate animals!
If you’ve attended before, you already know how great Offleashed is – thank you for your support and we can’t wait to see you in October.
If you haven’t attended Offleashed, we have two words for you: Cuddle Lounge. Really. In 2022, we hosted our largest Cuddle Lounge yet featuring fluffy and fuzzy rescue puppies, kitties, and other animals. And 2023 will be even cuddlier. Not only will you get to cuddle rescue animals, you’ll hear amazing stories told by the inspiring people who save animals’ lives every day.
Offleashed is always so inspiring because, at the core, this event is about growing our animal loving community and educating humans of all ages on what is possible if we all stand together.
Save the date for Offleashed 2023 and let’s make some magic happen.
Tickets
Stay tuned. Ticket sales will launch in the spring.
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. Kids can do this too and we can all do it TOGETHER, at Offleashed. 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.
Your support helps animals like Gunner. He was surrendered to the BC SPCA the day our Offleashed Chair Tracey was filming 2021’s Virtual Cuddle Lounge. He closed our show, the perfect family was waiting, and he’s now living his best life.
Join us on October 21st for heartwarming updates on animals your support has saved. 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.
Yes, I will be there.
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 2022 Sponsors!
