My story

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

Meet Selma,

When Selma first arrived at our shelter, she was in poor physical health, and very nervous about the world around her. Everything was new to her, from trusting humans, to eating from proper food bowls, to going out on walks, to even just playing as any puppy should!

But thanks to the love and care she's received, Selma has fully blossomed over her stay in shelter. She is now eager to explore the world and loves to go on long walks, but can still be fearful in new situations. She is social with other dogs in our care, and would do well in a home with another outgoing dog. However, Selma is a puppy and can be a lot of energy for older dogs who don't appreciate her puppy antics! She has been working overtime with potty training here, but her future home should be prepared to continue this and expect an accident here and there as she adjusts to a brand new home.

Selma is looking for a special family with previous shepherd experience. She's an exceptionally smart girl who will thrive with lots of mental stimulation, exercise, games and socialization. Although she still has much to learn and experience, her curiosity and love for treats will be great assets in her training journey.

If you're ready to provide this sweet girl with the guidance and support she needs, please stop by our West Vancouver from Tuesday-Sunday between 12pm-3pm, or apply online through our website! We can't wait to see who scoops this sweet girl up!

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.

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

3. Freedom from distress

4. Freedom from discomfort

5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
