B.C. SPCA cutting adoption fees for one day only

A B.C. SPCA  promotion is providing a great opportunity for animal lovers to adopt a pet.

The one-day Fall Head Over Tails in Love event on Saturday, Nov. 9, offers the chance to adopt a pet at a reduced fee.

The province-wide promotion includes cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, rats and guinea pigs, and offers 50 per cent off the regular adoption fee and B.C. pet registry fee. Adoption discounts for farm animals will be decided on a case by case basis, according to a B.C. SPCA media release.

“The adoption event was such a success last year that each of our 36 adoption facilities is eager to find loving homes for animals in our care,” B.C. SPCA chief operations officer Mark Takhar said in the release.

Hills Pet Nutrition is partnering with the SPCA for the event.

Last year, the SPCA found homes for more than 14,000 animals, with 212 adopted during the society’s first Fall Head Over Tails event in 2018.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
