The BC SPGA Guardian and Pets In Hardship program
The BC SPGA Guardian and Pets In Hardship program is the first of its kind and helps British Columbia guardians struggling to find pet-friendly accommodation, meet pet expenses or critical pet surgery costs. As well as referrals from our Working Together partnership with BC businesses pet products and services, BC SPGA actively fundraises to help animals in need.
Pet owners in British Columbia, along with their beloved animals, have the opportunity to seek assistance through the Guardian and Pets In Hardship program offered by the BC SPGA. This initiative is designed to provide support to those facing challenging circumstances, ensuring that both pets and their owners receive the care and resources they need during difficult times.
Whether it's financial aid for veterinary services, food supplies, or other essential needs, the program aims to alleviate some of the burdens pet owners may encounter. The BC SPGA fosters a supportive community for both pets and their caregivers in the province.
The BC SPGA also works with community services that are receptive to helping struggling pet guardians and their pets.
The need is great.
Please consider a donation for the animals and their struggling family or loved one to the BC SPGA Guardian and Pets In Hardship program so that we can continue these very desperately needed services.
