BC SPCA Advocates for Increased Pet-Friendly Rentals Ahead of Election

Published Jun 24, 2024 at 4:00am

The BC SPCA is urging the province to address the lack of pet-friendly rental housing, especially for dogs.

New Vancouver resident Kushal Methea noted that pet-friendly options are scarce and more expensive. The SPCA wants this issue addressed ahead of the fall election, as it's a major reason for pet surrenders. While previous efforts to ban 'no pets' clauses have failed, the SPCA seeks a collaborative approach involving stakeholders to find solutions. Other priorities include mandatory pet microchipping and support for pet food at food banks.
