My story

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

Meet Callie, a super sweet (and slobbery) bulldog looking for a comfy retirement home. Callie didn't have it easy early in her life, and was often sleeping outdoors and didn't have consistent access to vet care. Despite these challenges, this girl has nothing but love to give, and everybody she meets gets an affectionate headbutt and a wagging tail. As a senior bulldog Callie might not be a very good hiking partner, but her couch potato skills are second to none! She's a professional nap-taker, and loves to plop down next to you on the couch and chew on her squeaky toys. Callie has some separation anxiety, and does bark when she is left alone or is unable to follow you around the house. She settles down after a little while, but her potential adopters should be prepared for some gradual separation training for her first few weeks at home.


Callie has hypothyroidism, a condition that slows her metabolism and will require daily medication to control for the rest of her life. She's also got some hip issues from spending long periods of time sleeping on hard floors, so she won't be able to climb large flights of stairs in her new home. Her mobility has been steadily improving since coming into our care, but potential adopters do need to be aware of the changing needs of senior sweetheart like Callie. Callie might not be an olympic-level athlete, but her goofy personality and her big heart win her a gold medal in our books! Come meet her at the Vancouver SPCA today!


Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. You can also submit an application online if I am in foster or you would like to save some time when you come visit. 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.
