Public Service Announcements

PSA's for Print | Radio Scripts (pet overpopulation) | Pre-recorded .mp3 files (pet overpopulation)

The SPCA cares for nearly 50,000 animals each year in the province. Any help that you can give us in publishing the following public service announcements would be deeply appreciated. The public has told us that they do not want any adoptable animals euthanized in their community and we are doing everything in our power to make this happen, but we cannot do it without the public's help. We are very grateful for any help you can provide to find homes for the wonderful animals awaiting new homes.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

Warmest regards,
Lorie Chortyk, Community Relations Manager, BC SPCA (604) 647-1316, 1-800-665-1868, or (604) 830-7179 (cell).
