The BC SPCA Vancouver Branch will be hosting it’s annual Santa Paws Toy Drive for the Animals. From December 5 to December 12, the Vancouver Branch will be collecting various toys and Science Diet food for the hundreds of animals the Branch sees come through it’s doors. The toys donated are an intergral part of our animals’ daily welfare, and helps the animals cope with shelter life providing them with mental stimulation while in our care. Items can be dropped at any Vancouver Tisol location or at the Vancouver Branch’s Community Animal Centre located at 1205 E 7 Avenue.

On December the 12th , from 11am to 3pm, we will also be holding pet pictures with Santa at the Vancouver Branch’s Community Animal Centre located at 1205 East 7 Avenue, Vancouver, BC. Photos are $5 each or three for $10.
