We’re thrilled that you’re ready to adopt a deserving animal from the BC SPCA! We want to let you know that our adoption fees have recently been adjusted to ensure consistency across the Province, enhancing your adoption experience and ensuring that fees no longer vary by location. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the costs associated with caring for the animals while we find them loving homes.
When you adopt, you’ll receive essential care depending on the type of animal including medical assessments, vaccinations, flea and parasite treatments, spay or neuter surgery, and BC Pet Registry microchip identification. Additionally, you’ll benefit from support items such as Hill’s pet food samples, a free 6-week Petsecure Pet Health Insurance, and a free virtual veterinary appointment with TELUS Health MyPet. Please review below the costs and what’s included per animal type.
