My story

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

Meet our sassy senior girl Amy,

Amy is a chunky bundle of love that isn't afraid to show off her big beautiful belly for pets and rubs when given the chance. Amy seems to love everyone she meets and is quick to give kisses!

This senior girl doesn't always want to go on walks and would prefer a home which has a small yard for her to sunbathe in. Although, it really depends on her daily mood! She is quick to let you know what her needs are and will put on the brakes if she wants to return to the shelter for kennel cuddles or off-leash gym time. Despite her age, Amy loves her toys and has the most fun shredding up soft toys and doing big zoomies in the gym!

Amy is a strong puller and will need someone that can handle her size. Although Amy is not dog reactive, she is not to socialize with other dogs or animals and will need to be the only animal in the home. In her previous home, she was muzzle trained and will still wear a Baskerville muzzle when needed without much fuss.

Amy will need a home that can take her to the vet for consistent urine analysis rechecks to monitor for Proteinuria. Amy is currently on a hypoallergenic diet (for skin and itchiness), and will need to stay on this vet prescribed diet unless your vet decides otherwise (a urine/renal diet could be something in her future). Amy is starting on an Omega3 supplement to help act as a renal protectant and this should be continued long-term.

Amy is a sassy, unique, and loveable diva who is waiting for her perfect her where she can take centre stage.

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.
