PetSmart Charities® and Purina® are presenting the "Second Chance for Love" Spring National Adoption Weekend at PetSmart, and VPAS will be there. The three-day adoption event takes place Friday-Sunday, February 10-12 from 11am-4pm each day. Please join VPAS & several other local rescue organizations and help some of our deserving pets find great homes. Keep an eye on our website to find out which adoptable pets will be putting their best paw forward at the adoption fair to win your heart.

All of the volunteers and critters at VPAS would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday season & and prosperous New Year. We would like to thank each and every person who has supported us over the past year as well as all of our foster homes and volunteers. We could not have done it without you. Here's to a wonderful 2012!

This past weekend was a very busy one for all of us here at VPAS. Magoo's Child Care Centre hosted their first annual Silent Auction for Charity and VPAS was lucky enough to be one of the benefactors. We would like to thank Janine @ Magoo's for all of her hard work and her great support. This weekend was also the last weekend of Santa photos at PetSmart. With nearly 100 families coming out to support us & have their photos taken with Santa we had a fantastic weekend. Thank you all for your support! Happy Holidays everyone!

The first day of Magoo's silent auction got off to a great start, but we still have another day of bidding to come. Head to Magoo's Child Care Centre Saturday from 11am - 2:30pm and join us for appies, drinks, holiday music, and bidding. Great items include: gift certificates, admission tickets, gift baskets, pet items, Vancouver Canucks paraphernalia, a Nintendo Wii, and much much more!

Along with the excitement and merriment of the holidays come many possible dangers & sources of stress for pets. Pets new to the home find this time of year extremely difficult to settle in. Therefore, for the safety & comfort of the animals in our adoption program, pets adopted after December 15th/10 will not be released to their new homes until January 4th/12. Thank you for your understanding. Have a safe and happy holiday season, from all of us here at VPAS.

Thundershirts top the Holiday Wish List of many dogs awaiting adoption. With the Donate-A-Thundershirt program, you can give the gift of a Thundershirt to a homeless dog to help him or her find a home faster. Click here to find out more about how Thundershirts can help our dogs get adopted.
