The BCSPCA moves out of the Animal Shelter building at 4011 Lansdowne Road in Prince George BC as of January 1st, 2025 says Senior Manager Jamey Blair. As she attempts to deliver their services, such as the Pet Food Bank, out of another to-be-determined location, the Prince George Humane Society will move in to take over the municipal contract to operate the shelter. The contract, worth 1.2 million dollars, only covers about ±50% of the operating expenses of the shelter, the rest of the funding comes from fundraising, adoption fees, and more. So why take on such a challenge?
Prince George Humane Society Executive Director Angela McLaren thinks they can do better in some areas like “Keeping Pets & People Together” a program that works with people to eliminate the necessity of surrendering pets to shelters. At this point, both organizations are committed to working together for the benefit of animal welfare in the community.
