The partnership between Our Lady of Guadalupe SSVP Conference and the BC SPCA continues to grow. In addition to the monthly donations collected by the Comox and Campbell River branches, the BC SPCA is now providing 300 lbs of dry dog and cat food every month, purchased from Bosley’s Pet Store in Campbell River.

In the photo, SPCA volunteer and driver Gary Keats, along with SSVP President Sheila Keats, are loading 300 lbs of dry pet food (donated by BC SPCA) and 45 kg of canned food (donated by Bosley’s). Photo credit to Paul Bertrand (aka “King of the North”).

From the pet store to our SSVP storage unit, then shipped and distributed to families in Tahsis, Gold River, Zeballos, Kyuquot, and First Nation communities—this is what true partnership looks like. A little slice of “doggie heaven”!

We’re also excited to share that three pallets of pet food (about 300 lbs each) will be delivered and distributed this April—bringing wagging tails and grateful smiles to pets and their families.
