A safe haven for animals in need
The Branch Kennel Sponsorship Program The BC SPCA Victoria branch has a special opportunity to support the abused, neglected and abandoned animals in your community. Sponsorship opportunities are available to individuals, families and businesses. The program enables you to sponsor one of many animal spaces in the shelter for a whole year. You can choose whichever animal space you like, depending on whether you want to sponsor dogs, cats or the many small animals we house each year. The various animal spaces are available at different sponsorship levels, beginning as low as $500 and up to $10,000. If you want to sponsor an animal space with friends, family, your company team or fellow classmates, there are opportunities for joint sponsorship. All money raised from the Branch Kennel Sponsorship Program will go directly towards the cost of caring for all animals at the Victoria branch and the cost of caring for the hundreds of animals it houses every year. When you make the choice to sponsor one of the various animal spaces in the shelter, we will post a plaque in that particular area indicating your proud support. As well, we will provide you with a certificate for you to display at your business, office, school or home. The plaques will stay up in the shelter for one full year! In addition, we will invite you to sponsor another animal space in subsequent years with first right of refusal for your chosen are of sponsorship.
