My story

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

Meet Henry!

Henry is a gentle giant with a heart full of love. Though a little shy at first, he's incredibly sweet and always eager to be a part of whatever you're doing. Henry absolutely adores attention and will gently paw at you when he wants more pets. He's on a journey to gain confidence and adjust to new environments, so he's looking for a patient and calm home that can help him along the way.

Henry also enjoys spending time outdoors, so a home where he can have some outdoor time during the day would be ideal for him. He came into our care with a knee injury and is awaiting TPLO surgery, needing a peaceful place to recover and a loving family to support him through this process. During his time with us, Henry formed a strong bond with another dog, Heidi, who is also awaiting orthopedic surgery. They would love to find a home together, but if that's not possible, Henry would do well with a calm canine friend, given a proper introduction.

If you're ready to help Henry grow into his most confident self, provide a quiet space for recovery, and maybe even welcome his best friend Heidi, he's waiting for you! ❤️‍🩹

Do you think you could be Henry's person? Here are some ways to find out:

1.) Visit our centre to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Wednesday noon to 3pm, learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or

2.) Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.

    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.

    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.
