My story

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

Meet Bear!

Bear is a lovable and goofy boy with a heart full of playfulness! Bear absolutely adores toys and brings joy to his days by playing with everything from balls, stuffies, and even his blankets when there's no toys handy. Bear enjoys meeting new friends and love receiving body scratches. Bear loves the attention of his people and enjoys being around them. When it is time to take a break, he settles down well. Given the proper exercise and stimulation, he could possibly do well with living in an apartment.

Bear is super excited to play and can be very enthusiastic with his toys. He would do well in a home with children as long as we are careful with toys and treats in hand. Bear is friendly with other dogs and could go to a home with a canine friend given a proper introduction.

If you're looking for a playful companion and are ready to provide the special care Bear needs, he could be the perfect addition to your family! 🐻💚

Do you think you could be Bear'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.

    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.
