The North Cariboo Branch of the BC SPCA invites you to an animal-themed day of fun on Saturday, May 14.
The event happens noon to 5 p.m. at the North Cariboo SPCA, 4011 Lansdowne Road.
In addition to featuring pets looking for loving homes, activities at the North Cariboo SPCA Open House will include an ask a vet booth, education booths, nail trimming, a scavenger hunt, a dog drawing contest and much more.
Hill's Science Diet is partnering with BC SPCA branches across the province to promote adoption of homeless animals during Be Kind to Animals month in May.
"The open house series is an opportunity for people to meet the animals available for adoption and to have fun learning more about how to help animals in the community," said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.
The program promotes the health of shelter animals, making them more adoptable and enables animals to be transferred between shelters without suffering any ill effects from changing pet food.
Hill's donates free food for all dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in BC SPCA branches across the province to ensure animals receive a high quality and consistent pet food.
Hill's also gives a free 3.5 to 5 lb. bag of Science Diet to new pet guardians with every BC SPCA cat or dog adoption along with The Guide for Lifelong Health.
The BC SPCA adopts more than 18,000 animals each year through its 37 branches. All animals adopted from the BC SPCA are vet-checked, vaccinated and altered (spayed or neutered), and assessed for temperament.
