My story

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

Meet Bernie!

Bernie is a sweet, energetic young guy who is ready to find his forever home. With his love for toys and his boundless energy, Bernie is looking for an active family who enjoys outdoor adventures. He loves sniffing around and would thrive in a home that offers fun sniffing games and plenty of exploration.

While Bernie knows some basic commands, he would benefit from continued training to help him become the well-behaved dog he's meant to be. He can be a little jumpy when excited, so having a patient family to guide him through his training will help him thrive. Bernie is eager to learn and grow, and with the right family, he'll be the loyal companion you've been searching for. He would do the best as the only canine in the home, as he enjoys having all of his toys to himself!

If you're looking for a fun-loving dog who can keep up with your active lifestyle, Bernie might just be the perfect fit for you! 💚🐾

Do you think you could be Bernie's person? Here are some ways to find out:

1.) Visit our centre to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Wednesday noon to 3pm, learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or

2.) Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.

    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.
