My story

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

Meet our beautiful girl Topaz,

Topaz is a beautiful girl who has overcome a challenging past. She came into our care in poor physical health and was very nervous about the world around her.

Everything was new to her, from trusting humans, to even just playing as any dog should. Despite these hardships, Topaz has shown incredible strength and a desire to trust and bond with people. Despite her difficult past, this girl has a loving spirit and is ready to find her forever home.

Topaz is loyal and protective of her people. She thrives on human companionship and forms strong bonds with those she trusts. She can be a bit reserved at first, but with patience and love, her playful and affectionate side will shine through. This sweet girl needs someone who understands that building trust takes time. Consistent, positive reinforcement will help her gain confidence.
The understanding that gradual exposure to new people and environments is essential.

Topaz needs to be the only dog in her new home. Her protective nature means she feels most comfortable when she doesn't have to share her space or attention with other pets. She would thrive in a calm environment where she can be the center of attention and receive plenty of love and care. Topaz should go to a home with breed experience- she would not be a great fit for a new dog guardian. As Topaz has a very thick coat, constant grooming will be an asset to keep her looking beautiful and feeling her best!

If you would like to come and meet Topaz, you may contact the Parksville SPCA at 250-248-3811 or Parksville@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.
