My story

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

Meet Violet! This affectionate little girl is looking for an experienced and patient forever home to help her overcome her reactivity and become the best girl she can be! Due to some negative experiences when she was younger, Violet is quite reactive to other dogs on leash, and will also lunge at cars and passerby when she is out on walks. Violet is very smart and super food motivated, so we believe that with a confident guardian and consistent training she will learn to overcome her fears and improve her behaviour on leash. For the time being, however, Violet will need to live in a detached house in a quiet neighbourhood, preferably with a fenced backyard where she can get her zoomies out before heading out for a training-centered walk. At this time we will not be considering applicants that live in apartment buildings.


While Violet has had good meetings with dogs off leash, we believe that while working through her leash reactivity she should go to a home without other pets or young children. In the home, Violet loves to climb into your lap for snuggles or wrap her paws around you for a nice big puppy hug! She will be a fantastic hiking or camping companion once she has made some progress with her leash manners, and this girl would love a garden where she can help dig some holes. This loving girl has endless potential, she just needs an experienced and dedicated family to help her reach it! Could you be the one Violet has been waiting for?


Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.

Our Mission:



The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. Through its 36 branches located around BC and its provincial office in Vancouver, the BC SPCA provides a wide range of services for more than 53,000 homeless, abused, and abandoned animals around the province. The BC SPCA was created under the auspices of the provincial Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, and is the only animal welfare organization in BC which has the authority to enforce laws relating to animal cruelty and to prepare cases for Crown Counsel for the prosecution of individuals who inflict suffering on animals.

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.
