My story

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

Meet Missy, a lively 11-year-old Papillon with a big personality in a little package! This spunky girl is full of energy and has plenty to say, especially in the mornings when she's ready to start her day. Missy gets along well with other dogs, is mostly house-trained, and loves nothing more than going on walks or lounging on the couch with her favorite human.

Missy is a sweet dog who needs some extra support with her separation anxiety. She can be vocal and occasionally destructive when left alone, so her ideal forever family would be home often to help her through this. Separation anxiety training can be a slow process, and Missy will need patient, consistent guidance to feel secure when her people are away. While she's not crate trained yet, she would be a great candidate for crate training, which could provide her with a safe, comforting space as she works through her anxiety.

At 11 years old, Missy may be a senior, but she's still got plenty of pep in her step and a whole lot of love to give. She's looking for a cozy retirement home where she can enjoy the best of both worlds-adventures and cuddles! Can you give this spirited girl the wonderful golden years she deserves?

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.
