My story

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


Meet Hercules!

If the shelter had a class clown, it would definitely be Hercules! He's always keeping the staff and volunteers laughing with his hilarious antics. This little bundle of energy still thinks he's a tiny puppy, and he'll show you by trying to sit on your lap for cuddles. Hercules is also crazy about toys and loves nothing more than playing tug-of-war or fetch with his human friends.

Hercules has been through a bit of a rough patch recently, and we're helping him heal from some trauma he's witnessed. Because of his past, he can be a bit anxious and will need someone to show him that the world is a safe place. He knows basic commands, but he's a wiggly, excited pit bull who sometimes just needs a kind reminder to use his manners. Hercules will do best with someone who has patience and experience with training, and who can help him continue to grow into the sweet, loving dog he truly is.

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.
