About Us
Adopting A Friend
The Small Animal Rescue Society of BC is a registered society run by volunteers. Our primary focus is to rescue and rehome small animals in need. Neglected, injured and abandoned animals are our main priority.
Small Animal Rescue works to provide a safe haven for small animals in need while promoting responsible pet guardianship through education, advocacy, and spay/neuter initiatives.

The Adoption Process
All of our animals in rescue are in foster homes. We do not have a shelter. That way our animals are far better socialized when housed in a home environment and get a lot more one on one attention than if they were in a shelter. We get to know their personalities a lot better as well which helps us find a good match for your family. Not every animal will fit in with every family – We want to make sure that this will be a good match for everybody involved so that everybody is happy for many years to come!
To view any of our animals in rescue, you will need to go to our screening process first to make sure you would be a suitable home as we want to protect the privacy of our wonderful foster homes who open up their homes and hearts to an animal in need. We care immensly about any of our animals in rescue and we want to make sure that they go to a good home.
The first step to start the screening process is for you to fill out an application and email it back to us. There is a link on all the profiles where you can download the application or there’s a list of all the different applications which can be found below.
After we receive your online application, one of our volunteers will contact you to review your application, set up a homecheck and once your application is approved to help you make arrangmeents to visit the animal you are interested in adopting. Please remember that we are 100% volunteer run, we don’t have any paid staff. So our volunteer time is fit in between our own families, jobs and other obligations, but we will get to you as soon as we can!
