It takes a village, is what the motto the BC SPCA is standing behind when it comes to animal welfare in a community.
With the closure of the Vernon shelter, due to a number of ongoing structural integrity issues, the BC SPCA is looking to residents and other Okanagan rescues to help provide care to animals in need.
Adrienne McBride, BC SPCA senior director, said the non-profit believes that animal welfare isn’t the sole responsibility of the BC SPCA but of the entire community.
