My story

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

Apollo is a handsome and sweet boy looking for his forever home! This lovely gentle giant has spent his life until now on a large property with many other animals. Apollo needs to be introduced to new dogs, and might not be suitable for dog parks or off leash areas. Apollo loves to meet people and is very affectionate. He doesn't know his own size and is still learning that not everyone wants to be jumped on! Apollo loves to play and bounce around like an oversized puppy. Apollo has some mild hip dysplasia, common in large breed dogs. His future guardian should be mindful of this and monitor his mobility long term should he require some pain management down the road. If you think this special boy is the one for your family, please submit an adoption application to penticton@spca.bc.ca

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.
