My story

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

Introducing Piper!

Piper is a sweet and affectionate pup who's ready to find her forever home. She adores her daily walks and then happily curls up for a cozy nap. If you're looking for a new sidekick, Piper is the girl for you!

Piper would thrive in a home where she feels included and connected. A work-from-home parent she can follow around all day would be ideal. Piper can be vocal when left alone, but has spent 2-3 hours on her own when her foster runs errands. She's incredibly smart... maybe too smart. If there are snacks lying around or an unguarded trash can, Piper is ready to turn them into treasure hunts! Her resourceful nature keeps you on your toes and brings plenty of laughter to the household.

Her foster family says she is such a joy to have in their home. She will let you know when she needs to go outside, when she's hungry, and when it's bedtime and everyone should be headed up to sleep. She is smart and loves everyone she meets, especially on her walks. Her favourite pastimes include basking in the sun and attempting to chase squirrels when she sees them.

Piper is best suited to a home where she's the only dog, since she prefers humans over canines. An adult-only home or one with older children would be ideal, as her bursts of energy might be too much for a small child.

Piper has a condition called onchodystrophy which is a condition that affects the nail beds, and causes painful and brittle nails. She is currently on a hypoallergenic diet to help her along and it is also recommended that she stay on an omega fatty acid supplement to strengthen her nails.

If you're ready for a loving family member who will steal your heart, Piper can't wait to meet you.

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.
