My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet handsome Sparky!

This sweet boy came to us since unfortunately his previous owner could not handle his energy and did not have the space for him. Sparky is a very active and high-energy boy who would love nothing more than to join you on walks and adventures! He is very smart and enjoys anything that stimulates his mind, like puzzle feeders and interactive toys. He is very food motivated and willing to learn, so he really enjoys his Positive Reinforcement based training!!

Sparky can be quite exuberant with people and other dogs, and is learning not to jump up and be mouthy when excited! He hopes for owners who understand his breeds and his needs, and offer him a stable home with time to dedicate.
He is a bit under exposed to other pups, so finds them very exciting and gets frustrated not being able to go say hello, especially on leash, and other dogs can find this a bit overwhelming. He tends to get vocal and upset, and will need assurance in these moments.

He is very food motivated, so with lots of positive reinforcement he could learn and thrive! Sparky has separation anxiety and will need a home with a secure yard with taller fences, as he can amazingly climb and scale the fences and gates to try to find his people!

He is a very sweet and goofy boy with so much potential, he just needs a home where he can be himself!

If you are interested in adopting Sparky, please send in an application!

    Our mission, vision and charter is at the heart of all we do to rescue, protect and care for animals. It is also the driving force behind our animal welfare and education programs.

    Our Charter:



    The BC SPCA Charter is the foundation that guides the work we do:

    Whereas:

    The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.

    Therefore:

    The BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for the animals of the world we share.



    We pledge our energies to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals, who depend on humans for their well-being, experience, as a minimum, five essential freedoms:



    1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

    2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease

    3. Freedom from distress

    4. Freedom from discomfort

    5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
