Residents and their pets are being forced from their homes as almost 300 wildfires rage across B.C.
The BC SPCA steps in each time there is an emergency that affects animals and with the many evacuations taking place due to wildfire risk, residents are left with little choice as to what to do with their pets, but luckily the non-profit is providing space to keep furry friends safe.
However, shelters are hoping to provide as much space as possible during this time and, as such, are holding a half-price adoption promotion to allow for more room in locations where there is emergency boarding for animals impacted by the fires.
Lorie Chortyk, general manager of communications for the BC SPCA, said the adoption promotion is taking place from July 20 to 30.
