My story

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

Chi Chi is a sweet, sensitive girl who has endured far more than any dog ever should. She came from a situation with many other dogs and carries the scars - both physical and emotional - of having had to fend for herself. Because of this, Chi Chi has made it very clear during her time in shelter that she much prefers the comfort of calm, trustworthy people over the company of other dogs. She is not suited for dog parks or dog‑to‑dog play, and she will truly thrive as the only pet in her new home, where she can finally feel safe and be the center of someone's world.

Despite her difficult past, Chi Chi's gentle spirit shines through every day. She loves to cuddle, loves being close to her people, and has a soft, affectionate soul that reveals itself the moment she feels safe. The world is still new to her - many everyday experiences are unfamiliar and can feel overwhelming - but with patience, understanding, and a trauma‑informed approach, she continues to blossom.
Chi Chi is looking for a calm, quiet home with an experienced adopter - someone familiar with under‑socialized or fearful dogs who can help guide her through house training, leash skills, and building confidence at her own pace. What she needs most is a family willing to celebrate small victories, offer steady reassurance, and give her the stability she's never had.

In return, Chi Chi will offer quiet loyalty, gentle affection, and the deeply rewarding experience of watching a deserving dog learn what it means to feel safe and loved. If you're ready to change a life - and let Chi Chi change yours - she's ready to meet you

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.
