My story

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

Atticus is a big, exuberant boy bursting with love and enthusiasm! This handsome pup came to us from unfortunate circumstances and is so ready to find out what a home filled with love and care looks like.

When Atticus first entered our care, he was underweight, and now he loves, loves, loves his food-sometimes a little too much! He's learning to pace himself and would benefit from a feeding routine that supports his healthy weight gain and keeps him happy.

At his core, Atticus is a smart and eager-to-please pup, but he doesn't quite realize his size or strength yet. Because of this, he would do best in a home without young children or fragile environments, as he's still figuring out how to play gently and ask for attention politely.

Atticus can be selective about other dogs and may prefer to be the only pet in the home. However, with the guidance of an AnimalKind trainer and positive reinforcement, he can continue to build confidence and improve his social skills.

Despite his size, Atticus's body can barely contain his boundless enthusiasm and zest for life! With some structured training, consistent boundaries, and a lot of love, Atticus will shine as a loyal, loving companion.

If you're ready to give this lovable big guy the forever home he deserves, Atticus can't wait to meet you! Please submit a pre-adoption questionnaire here: https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/

*PLEASE NOTE: Atticus is currently awaiting his neuter surgery, so is only available for foster-to-adopt local to the South Okanagan area*

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.
