British Columbians with pets and animals deserve a Voice so we
can make our animals lives the best that
they can be.
Pets contribute so much to our lives and those of our children.
As the fastest growing non-profit, incorporated member and public funded society in the Province, the BC SPGA is making significant strides in ensuring that the voices of both animals and their guardians are heard and respected across the province.
BC SPGA
People with pets are the Voice for their animals.
The Society for British Columbia Public Guardians and Animals (BC SPGA) was formed in 2023 to advocate for people with furry, feathered, and scaly friends across the province.
As animal lovers, we know how important it is to be dedicated to protecting and establishing rights for people and their pets or animals. The BC SPGA aims to be that voice working to improve the lives of animals and support their human guardians throughout British Columbia.
Considering that BC animal parents represent over half of the British Columbia population it would seem that they should also have a Voice in important issues.
The society operates exclusively with non-salaried volunteers with very Big Hearts.
Volunteer team efforts include educational programs, outreach initiatives, representation for people with pets or animals and programs that assist pet guardians with the increasingly higher costs of pet medication and veterinary care, higher costs of animal foods and supplements, and with other basic pet care needs.
The mission of the BC SPGA extends beyond mere advocacy; it encompasses a holistic and grass roots approach to animal welfare that includes legislative efforts for people with pets rights and protection, community engagement, and extensive support through our programs and services for those who care for animals.
Animal and pet guardians in BC contribute significantly to the provincial economy. As voters, people with pets have a significant impact yet no say in animal issues that affect our daily lives.
In addition to the advocacy and educational efforts, the BC SPGA actively promotes the importance of fostering a supportive network among animal lovers. By connecting guardians with one another, as well as with local veterinarians and animal behaviorists, they create a strong community that shares knowledge and resources. This collaborative spirit not only enhances the wellbeing of animals but also enriches the lives of their guardians, creating a vibrant ecosystem of care and support.
The society is comprised of animal educators, activists, people with pets and many animal lovers who share our communal commitment.

When you think about how much we spend on animals and we have no rights and neither do they. Change is on the way with BC SPGA.
