For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Spike has a story with us and we'd like to share it with you . Spike is a two year old Husky mix . He came from the Northwest Territories SPCA when he was 8 weeks old. He was a happy friendly puppy who loved the female dog, cat and kids in his foster home . He was adopted as a puppy and then abandoned , dropped at the neighbours when he was 7 months old . She only realized he had been a rescue pup from his microchip when she took him to the vet . He had a limp and she contacted us saying she cared for him but he was too puppy for an older lady. We brought him back into care and we realized that he would periodically limp . The vets said he was born with a shorter back leg , and it was accommodating his active lifestyle but starting to cause him consistent pain. He would need to be on pain medication or have it amputated for better quality of life . A couple months ago BARS decided to give him a pain free , active , happy life and amputate his short leg . It was a tough few days after surgery but he healed up amazingly. He is running , playing and back to his best self . Spike is ready for a family to love him forever . If Spike could speak he would ask for lots of outside space , a safe place to sleep at night . Cats , cats and more cats , as he absolutely loves them and protects them . He is good with female dogs after proper introductions but hasn't had much luck sharing a home with another male . Spike loves toys and can carry multiple toys in his mouth at once . He is a smart , funny and vibrant character that will add so much love and excitement to your home. Please consider meeting Spike , we know his forever home is out there somewhere! If you would like to meet Spike, please fill out the adoption application.

All adoptions begin with an adoption application, available here or on our website (or from one of our wonderful volunteers in person). The application is reviewed by the adoptable animal's foster home as well as by the appropriate coordinator (canine/feline) to assess how the animal will fit in your home. We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, but being 100% run by volunteers sometimes we need additional time--if you haven't heard back after 72 hours, feel free to contact us to check in on your application.
Canine Adoption Fees:
$450 for puppies under 1 year of age
$375 for dogs over 1 year & under 7 years
$300 for dogs 7 years and older
Feline Adoption Fees:
$250 for kittens and cats up to 12 months old
$200 for cats between 1-6 years old
$150 for cats 6 years old and older
Adoption fees help offset the cost to our organization of providing full medical care (including spay or neuter surgery) to each animal we adopt to a furever home.
