Our Work

We believe that everyone deserves to love and be loved by a pet, regardless of their financial situation. We want to keep pets and people together and ensure the wellbeing of all pets. We understand the incredible power of the human-animal bond and want to support this for everyone.

We are a registered non-profit. Our work relies completely on the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our supporters. We are completely self-funded with no government subsidy, relying on donations and volunteers to run. 

Help us to continue our work in the community by donating today.

Clinics are held at the Victoria BCSPCA (3150 Napier Ln)

PLEASE NOTE: based on community feedback, we have moved! This move is an effort to create a more family-friendly and smoke-free space for all pet caregivers and volunteers. Clinics will be held at our old location at Our Place Society on an as-needed basis.

Our clinics are offered from 10am-12pm. Registration begins at 9 am. We operate our clinics on a first-come first-serve basis. Your pet does not need to be present for registration but will need to be present for 10am.

Please expect to wait up to 2 hours for your appointment. We try and see every pet in a timely manner but we appreciate your understanding.

Depending on appointment availability, we may close registration early. We can usually see up to 50 pets at each clinic, depending on the size of our volunteer team.

Join us every second Sunday of the month for our free clinics

There is no cost involved with any appointment.

Unfortunately, at this time, we do NOT offer any surgical procedure (such as spay or neuter), blood testing or treatment of chronic conditions (such as diabetes, allergies or other).

We attempt to provide a safe space for all pet owners. All are welcome. No abuse, violence or disrespect will be accepted.
