animals. Part of his job description was to work keep the laws of the sea in place to protect the animals that do not have a place on land that the SPCA

can access them as easily as we may need to.

The history dating all the way back to 1895 until present day today as one thing that will never change; The animals come first. The main goal in the BC

organization is to have the animal cruelty stopped but for they are being saved and sheltered and then processed to get adopted. being one of the first

animal hospitals at the time they were really the turning point for all animal health and rehabilitation centers. now there are hospitals that are just for

animal practice all over. private practices and public ones are spread through out the country.

Working as a team the Board of Directors oversees the business as a whole. These people go over the rules and regulations to keep the animals

protected they way that they need to. This keep the animals that are close to being extinct protected from hunters or poachers. If someone is a caught

with an animal from the endangers species list, there is a sometimes a pricy fee that is to be paid and sometimes jail time is an outcome. Fish and game

Wild life is also part of the SPCA when it comes to the wildlife animals.

Information on the Organization
This nonprofit organization run by public donations is used to help animals of all types. It has been running for over 120 years. Weather it be

Wildlife, everyday house pets, or Exotic pets all of the donations raised, go towards investigations and rescue towards the animals. there are 36

branches of the BC SPCA and together they have accomplished in helping 53,000 helpless animals regardless of their conditions entering safety.

HOW THEY WORK... The investigation team starts out with a complaint or a known animal that is in need of intervention. The next step is to proceed into

investigation more to see whos responsible for the animal cruelty or if there is any cruelty actually taking place. If there is evidence of animal cruelty their

30 fulltime employees on the investigation will go through the process to make sure the crime is prosecuted thoroughly and that the prosecutor is brought

to justice. Some of the investigations end with a court date and the one who committed the crime ending up behind bars for their actions. Some of the

punishments handed out are that the person who committed the crime is to never own an animal again

The organization started with a group of people with all different job titles were concerned with the way horses were being treated. So these people made

a packet to stick together and come up with some sort of a system to make a better life for animals. This was the birth of the BC SPCA. it then moved

forward to starting with the one constructed building to take in animals that were either homeless or abused. it then expanded in to many other regains of

the country and now is currently in 37 different locations and 5 different veterinary clinics there success rates are through the roof.

Animals that arrive to BC SPCA.
Animals that come into the organization have to go threw an initial exam to see if they carry anything that could be contagious to other animals. some Of

the animals are so far gone once they arrive that they are put down once they arrive to seek their medical attention. The BCSPCA is also a non kill

shelter. They Adopt out all of their animals including the ones that do not always come to them. Some of the animals are put into foster homes and are

taken care of that way to make space in the shelters.

Animals that are healthy enough to go through the next stages are sent to the shelter to meet some of the other animals to be processed through testing

to see what they need for an adoption home. No animals are harmed during this time, the employees are just trying to see what home would suit them

best.

How Donations Work at the BC SPCA

The organization is run off of public donations. This means that the organization does not make a profit, all of the money they receive is given to the

animals. Weather the money is spent on food or medical supplies for the animals none of the money donated is given to the employees. Their

employment is paid through a different organization. through out their time the animals receive around the clock care. all of the new animals that come

into the shelter or the animals hospital undergo testing to make sure they cannot infect any of the other animals that may be in the shelter as well.

Medication and supplies needed all is supplied from veterinarian resources and paid with the donations made to the organization. The donations can also

be personal and have a specific use of need be.

Each year the foundation spends roughly $5,000 to $10,000 dollars per case if not more. At the end of the year they have stated they spend about $2.5

Million.
