The form posted above does exist but I am unaware of it being used often in Victoria even though there is a great need for it unfortunately.
As the largest Animal Welfare Society in the Province one would obviously think Compassionate Board would certainly be considered before FOR-PROFIT BOARDING.
There are many people throughout the province who are without resources for their animals should they suddenly become ill, injured ( an old person taking a fall), or homeless etc.
The animals involved in these situations require immediate care and often the people involved cannot afford regular boarding situations and in many cases cannot afford anything at all.
Personally I believe the BC SPCA should be helping these animals before even considering For-Profit Boarding.
