How can I Lock-In for Love?

Join the community transforming animal lives

Lock-In for Love is an annual community event that lets you put your compassionate love for animals to work – you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your own home! Set up a free online team or personal fundraising page today and begin inspiring your friends and family to join you in rescuing animals. (You can also connect in person with printable donation forms.) 

After registration, you have through June 14 to collect donations for animals in the BC SPCA’s care. When an animal is hurting or distressed, they don’t have a voice to ask for help – you can be that voice. Every kind-hearted donation you receive goes straight to transforming the lives of vulnerable animals. 

This community event is all about LOVE. Animals share theirs with us every day, in so many ways. Let’s show them the strength of our love in return.

Yes, I want to raise vital funds for animals!

June 14 is the big finale for Lock-In for Love. Your devoted efforts will finish with a heart-warming event at your local participating BC SPCA centre – now available in more communities than ever! Lock-In for Love day is your chance to cuddle up with an animal in care at a Centre near you (space permitting). You’ll spend an hour with them in their kennel or room, showering them with love, while you ask your community to help you meet your fundraising goal for animals just like them.  

There’s no better way to feel your impact than to experience that wagging tail, gentle headbutt or soft purr from one of the very animals your fundraising is helping. You can share space and affection with an adorable rescue your efforts are working to shelter, care for and eventually find a loving forever family. (You may also be able to bring your own pet with you instead – ask your local centre about your dog joining!)  

All fundraisers are invited to their local participating BC SPCA animal centre for this special day (space permitting). We encourage you to confirm your in-person attendance as early as possible.  

If you’d prefer, you’re also welcome to participate virtually, making your final fundraising push at home, with a favourite furry friend, with your team or anywhere else that works for you. As long as you feel comfortable and supported, anywhere can be your animal rescue headquarters! 

No matter where you “lock-in”, you're invited to drop by for a gratitude goodie bag, a victory photo and a special thank you from the staff and animals.
