My story

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

Meet Violet and Eleanor!

This shy sister pair is searching for an experienced, adult-only home where patience and love can help them thrive. Violet, a blend of brown with white and orange, and Eleanor, mostly white with dark grey splashes, are as beautiful as they are timid.

These young girls are not suited for first-time guinea pig owners or homes with small children as primary caregivers. Due to limited early interaction, they're very skittish and will need a dedicated family to gently build their trust and confidence.

Due to their specific needs, we will only be accepting applicants over the age of 19. If you have experience with nervous guinea pigs and are ready to put in the time and care to help these sisters feel safe, they can't wait to meet you!

To begin the adoption process for our small animals, please fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire below. Be as detailed as possible, and keep in mind that an enclosure photo will be required after we receive your form submission. Remember to keep an eye on your inbox, including the junk folder, to ensure you don't miss any emails from us about your adoption application.

Our mission, vision and charter is at the heart of all we do to rescue, protect and care for animals. It is also the driving force behind our animal welfare and education programs.

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.
