Last week AAS was asked by a relative of a young woman who has to go into hospital if we can board two cats and a dog for her. We didn't have a foster home available and so we told her about the SPCA's compassionate board program and suggested that she phone the SPCA.

She emailed back to say, "I left a msg at Vancouver SPCA, then called head office. They don't know of any
compassionate care, they gave me the West Van office; they only offer boarding
at $20 a day."
