BC SPCA launches online emergency fund to save animal lives

The BC SPCA recently launched an addition to its website providing the public an opportunity to donate money to help care for injured or abused animals. 

The new site (www.spca.bc.ca/medicalemergency) profiles injured animals currently in the SPCA's care and encourages donors to become a part of their treatment and rehabilitation. The site will also post recovery updates so donors can see the difference their contribution has made. 

"The BC SPCA care for more than 25,000 injured, abused and abandoned animals every year across the province," said Shoni Field, director of fundraising operations and innovation for the BC SPCA. "Many of the animals require extensive - and expensive - emergency medical care and treatment, often exceeding the funds available in a shelter's regular medical budget. Our online site is a way for us to connect injured animals with compassionate individuals who help us save lives by donating to an animal's care."
