Whether you are looking to adopt a new furry friend into your family, require assistance with your own pet, or would like to know more about how you can make difference for animals in our community, we are here to help at the BC SPCA Community Animal Centre in Victoria.
*Wild animal drop offs:
Some injured or orphaned wild animals can be dropped off at the Victoria Center for transport to Wild ARC. Due to animal health and safety protocols, the following wild animals are not accepted at Victoria Center: bats, deer fawns, wild Eastern Cottontail rabbits, domestic feral rabbits, and adult river otters, mink, beavers, weasels and raccoons.
Wild animals dropped off at the Victoria Centre must be safely contained prior to arrival and a wild animal intake form must be completed through the BC SPCA Animal Helpline. On arrival, please ring the doorbell and a staff member will assist you at the door.
