In just a few days, we’re kicking off the BC SPCA Love Story campaign! 💕 If you’ve adopted your furry best friend from the BC SPCA, we want to hear your #BCSPCALoveStory!
This is your chance to celebrate love month by sharing your journey—how your pet came into your life, the special moments you've shared, and how adoption changed everything. Your story could inspire others to choose adoption and start a love story of their own!
Get ready to share your #BCSPCALoveStory! 💌 Let’s spread the love and show the world the magic of adoption. Stay tuned—more details coming soon!

⭐️You can finally show off your adorable, quirky or beloved pet just as you've been longing to, and you'll be helping vulnerable animals every step of the way! It’s simple to participate – create an entry for your pet and then ask your friends and family to vote for them by donating to the BC SPCA (fully tax-receiptable).
⭐️Four passionate animal lovers will earn their pets a place on the label of a limited-edition beer, to be sold across B.C.! The top three fundraisers and one lucky draw winner. Plus there's custom beer glasses with their pets' faces for the winners and runners-up! What could be better?

UPDATE: The puppies from this litter that have not yet been adopted have transferred to more southern communities in hopes of finding homes. If you are interested in adopting one of these pups, please check the BC SPCA website for their current location.
We've got 7 Labrador/Border Collie X puppies looking for a home! Together this group is a lively bunch full of personality and spunk. They spend their time playing and wrestling amongst eachother until they tucker themselves out and settle in for a nap. They love people and will offer a full body tail wag when you enter the room. They are looking for affection, cuddles and guidance to help them build confidence in this world that's brand new to them.
Based on their breed, these dogs will be smart and loyal companions, who will be eager to please. They will be looking for a family who can offer them the mental and physical exercise that they crave and they will reward your efforts with years of friendship.
If you are interested in meeting this group of siblings, please visit the South Peace BC SPCA between the animal viewing hours of 1pm-4pm, Tuesday to Saturday.

🤔 Have you heard the term balanced training? Balanced training describes training that uses both rewards and aversive methods like physical punishment. That means balanced training uses tools and methods that cause pain and fear in dogs.
Is balanced training more effective? No. Compared to a reward-based approach, balanced training is not more effective.
