Senior dog looking for a home for the holidays

November 21, 2019

The BC SPCA’s Vernon & District Branch is seeking the public’s help to cover medical costs for a loveable senior dog called Teki.

Teki had surgery to remove two painful lumps and received treatment for her severe dental disease. At almost 13 years old, this dog arrived in SPCA care underweight but has been slowly gaining weight and recovering her strength.

“Teki loves people and gets along well with other dogs. She is a very laid-back girl who loves nothing more than to fall asleep on the couch in front of a warm fire,” says SPCA Vernon & District Branch manager Chelsea Taylor.

Her estimated cost of care is $1,690. “We need to raise funds for Teki and the many other senior animals that end up in shelters in their twilight years,” says Taylor. “Teki is such a sweetie and deserves an awesome retirement home.”

Staff are hopeful that Teki will be able to spend the holidays in her new forever home and she is currently available for adoption.

If you can help Teki please donate to her senior care fund. To help other animals in need, please visitspca.bc.ca/medicalemergency or visit the branch at 4800 Haney Road, 250-549-7279.
