Episode Details

Dawson Creek is ditching the BC SPCA for animal control, saving $300K annually—but leaving the charity scrambling to adjust as it loses a key partner after 24 years. With over 500 calls and 336 animals rescued last year, the SPCA’s role is shrinking fast, forcing tough choices: prioritize cruelty cases and food banks—or risk gaps in care as winter looms. The city now directs aggressive dogs to 911 and neglect to the SPCA, but critics fear chaos without clear protocols. Despite Dawson Creek’s proud record of reducing strays, the SPCA hopes the city will rethink this move—because animal welfare shouldn’t be put on pause.
