My story

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

Atlas here is a special lady who is looking for an equally as special home; one that understands and celebrates her unique quirks and hilariously silly personality. Her ideal home will feature an experienced guardian who is looking for a bit of a fun project, and can offer her consistency and lots of positive reinforcement while she adjusts into her new life.

This girl loves her squeaky toys, stuffies and fun ropes, of course with a good game of tug and toss in the midst. She will slap her paws around in a hilarious manner in victory of her games, and makes us all laugh with her child like joy that shines through!

Atlas finds change to be a bit overwhelming, and when she finds herself to be a bit overstimulated, she can display this with a lot of jumpy and mouthy behaviors, and the classic shepherd spins and whines. She can sometimes hide in a place she finds safe, so would find a high activity home very overwhelming and would be best in a calm mature environment. Atlas would do best as the only pet in the home due to her anxieties, and she is used to being an only child.

Atlas does have an eye condition called Pannus, very commonly found in German Shepherds, that requires regular eye medications. Her adopter should ensure they do their research, and are comfortable and confident in their ability to navigate any future concerns regarding them.

    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.
