Rehabilitating animals for adoption can be a long, involved process
The province has announced that it contribute $1 million toward an animal behaviour centre that will replace a 26-year-old SPCA facility in Duncan, the first of its kind in Canada.
But not every animal is as well-mannered as the corgi that patiently sat next to Eby as he delivered the funding announcement in Vancouver. SPCA’s Cowichan branch, a few kilometres north of Duncan, is the ideal location to build a dedicated behavioural centre where SPCA staff and volunteers can focus on helping animals work through their problems faster, he said.
Eby said Monday that the funding is also crucial because it comes at a time where charities such as the SPCA are seeing challenges in traditional income sources like donations. That same report said that a new facility would allow for women fleeing domestic violence to house their animals at the centre and would significantly expand the number of volunteer opportunities.
