Zita & Jessie

Adopted August 8, 1995 from

Sometimes, pets and their guardians have the odds stacked against them. At least, that seemed to be the case for Zita, Jessie and their guardian Myriam when she moved to Canada and had to leave her beloved cats behind. Living on the other side of the world doesn’t always mean the end of a relationship …

Sam

Adopted October 25, 2015 from

When Sam, a gorgeous five-year-old border collie, came to the BC SPCA Kamloops Branch one day in October 2015, she proved the great importance of proper socialization. Having lived primarily outdoors for her whole life, Sam was very nervous around new people and in new situations. Fortunately, we learned that Sam loved people far too …

Mindy

Adopted April 11, 2010 from

On March 5, 2010, this young Pit Bull Terrier Mix was found abandoned in a dump. A concerned citizen brought her into the BC SPCA Surrey Education & Adoption Centre. Underweight and frightened, Mindy had identification but she had not been spayed. Staff and volunteer assessments showed that, with human attention, she quickly warmed up …

Olive

Adopted August 26, 2016 from

On May 13, 2016, a one-year-old, stray Lynx Point Siamese, found in Williams Lake, was brought into the BC SPCA Sea to Sky Branch. She gave birth to a litter of five kittens of assorted colours and coat lengths. Olive was one of those kittens. Mom and babies were housed with one of our wonderful foster …

Rex

Adopted May 17, 2018

On April 3, 2018, a three-year-old, 44 kg purebred Dogo Argentino was surrendered to the BC SPCA Vernon Branch, as his family could no longer care for him. When he first came to the shelter, he was unsure and fearful. A professional behaviour assessment by staff determined this big, very powerful, protective canine needed a breed …

Claudia

Adopted November 24, 2017 from

Between July and October of 2017, Claudia,  a 11-year-old, blue cream Torbie, had been shuffled from one home to another, with owners finding she was not a good fit for their household. She finally came into the care of the BC SPCA Victoria Branch on October 31, 2017. At our shelters, staff and volunteers work together …

Bindi

Adopted April 18, 2013 from

When Bindi came into our care in early 2013 at the BC SPCA South Peace Branch in Dawson Creek, we knew she was going to make a special addition to the right family. She wasn’t afraid to show her personality right away—as long as it meant finding a lap she could curl up in. Bindi …

Tiny

Adopted April 27, 2018 from

On April 4, 17-year-old Tiny was taken by her owner to a Nanaimo veterinary clinic to be euthanized because she had become too much responsibility. The clinic declined to euthanize this healthy senior and instead brought her to the BC SPCA Nanaimo & District Branch to give her a chance at adoption. Not long after, …

Percy

Adopted May 29, 2009 from

Percy, a white, Persian-cross, young adult male cat, came into the care of the BC SPCA Vancouver Branch on April 3, 2009 when he was surrendered by his former owner. Percy was in poor health and was put into foster care to give him comfort in what was believed to be his last few weeks …

Xena

Adopted June 30, 2017 from

In June 2017, Xena was brought in to the BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch. Only ten months old, Xena had been travelling with a couple who had found her astray. We soon found out that Xena loved to go on walks and runs, and she had a lovely calm temperament—as long as she’d had enough …
