My story

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

Meet Gemma!

Gemma is a sweet, active little girl searching for a loving home where she can share plenty of cuddles. Once she gets to know you, she's incredibly affectionate and happiest when she's with her favorite people. Gemma prefers not to be left alone for long periods and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. Because she can bark when left alone, she isn't suited to homes that share walls with neighbors.

Gemma walks nicely on leash and enjoys meeting new people. While she is reactive toward other dogs and isn't a candidate for off-leash dog parks, she's a very smart girl and would benefit from consistent, positive obedience training. Gemma is not comfortable living with cats.

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.
