My story

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

***CENTRE CURRENTLY CLOSED, PLEASE SUBMIT AN ONLINE APPLICATION AND WE WILL REACH OUT TO YOU***

Meet Gemma!

Gemma is a super duper active gal who's full of pizzazz! Gemma was brought into care under murky circumstances, so we don't have much history for her. We do know that Gemma had a litter of puppies in her past.

Gemma does have a lot of energy, and will need a pawrent who can physically handle her, and give her the amount of mental and physical exercise she'll need to live an enriched and fulfilled life. Gemma would do well to work with an Animal Kind Certified Trainer in her new home. She may prefer to be the only dog in the house but has potential to make doggy friends given a proper introduction!

Do you think you could be Gemma's person? Here are some ways to find out:

1.) Visit our centre to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Tuesday noon to 3pm, learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or

2.) Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.

*Side note: the more you add to your application about you and what you are looking for in a canine companion, the better we can match animals with adopters!

    The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. Through its locations and operations across the province the BC SPCA provides emergency medical care and sheltering for more than 37,000 animals each year. The society also conducts more than 4,600 cruelty investigations and provides a wide range of advocacy and education programs for domestic, farm and wild animals through its Provincial Office.

    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.
