The partnership will see the Prince George Humane Society taking over the management of the city’s animal shelter, including animal intake, housing, and rehoming. The Prince George Humane Society will also assume responsibility for animal control services, including enforcement of animal cruelty and neglect laws. This partnership aims to provide better animal welfare services to the community and promote the humane treatment of animals.

Introduction

The City of Prince George and the Prince George Humane Society have embarked on a significant partnership to deliver animal shelter operations for the city. This new partnership is set to commence on January 1, 2025, and is expected to have a profound impact on the community, particularly in terms of animal welfare. The partnership will be facilitated by a five-year agreement, with the option for a three-year renewal.

The BC SPCA will also work with the City to develop a new animal welfare policy.

The BC SPCA’s Ongoing Efforts

The BC SPCA has been actively working with the City of Vancouver to address animal welfare concerns. This collaboration has led to significant progress in the area of animal cruelty investigations.
