My story

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

Say hello to Oso, our long-term resident seeking his forever home!

Oso has been with us far too long now and is so deserving and loving of finding his forever person. Oso is large, loving and goofy, and has absolutely stolen the hearts of the staff who care for him.

This guy doesn't know his own size, and loves to bounce and jump around his yard, throwing his toys up in the air, and tumbling around in a hilarious manner. His long limbs and floppy ears are the funniest thing to watch, and will make your heart swell with joy, and your stomach ache with laughter.

Oso is hoping for a particular home and will be an amazing companion to someone who can offer him the type of environment he needs. Oso is not a fan of other canines and is looking to be the only dog in the home. He can be quite reactive to them, and is seeking an owner who understands this, and can help him associate seeing other canines in a positive way with his training process. This fella is 110 pounds, meaning he is quite strong and will pull when he sees other dogs and can be hard to redirect away from them. He is looking for an owner who can help guide him during these moments with positive reinforcement and show him how to redirect his energy in a positive way. A home without dogs directly on the other side of the fence would be best, so Oso has the chance to be comfortable in his home without feeling the need to be on guard.

Although Oso does struggle with reactivity towards other dogs, he is one of the squishiest, loving boys we know. With his people, Oso bonds hard with them, and is beyond excited to see his people friends daily. He greets us with his adorable woos and kisses, and can't wait to give you your daily snuggles and love. He loves to play with his toys and lean up against you soaking in the attention and getting his scratches. Oso loves car rides and adventures where he can sniff away and would really enjoy an active owner who can keep his brain busy, and offer him lots of mental enrichment!

If youd like to know more about Oso, please give us at call at 250-339-7722! We love this fella and cant wait for his person to come along, and are more than happy to chat in more detail about him!

    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.
