The West Coast Spay and Neuter Society (SANS) is a volunteer run, nonprofit, registered charity established in 1990 to help prevent the suffering and destruction of companion animals due to abandonment, neglect, abuse and overpopulation. SANS rescues, shelters and nurtures animals and is a non-kill shelter. We also provide public education on the plight of abandoned and abused animals as well as educating on the benefits of spaying and neutering pets.
