BC SPCA took in 1,000 more animals in 2022 than year prior
The BC SPCA says it’s starting to see an increase in the number of animals bred during the pandemic turning up on its doorsteps.
Chief Communications Officer Lorie Chortyk says the problem is only continuing this year. Since the start of 2023, she says they’ve seen a jump in the number of animals, particularly dogs, being turned in. Chortyk says the animals were bred during the height of the pandemic and, with demand for pets now waning, have nowhere to go.
