We received this lovely adoption update from Jasper's new family!

"We wanted to share a happy update about Jasper, our recently adopted puppy from the Penticton SPCA.

The 3 short weeks since welcoming Jasper into our family have been jam-packed with new adventures and introductions and it's been amazing to watch his confidence grow more and more everyday.

He loves long hikes on the trails above our house in Peachland and has practically memorized them all, especially the one that leads to a small pond where he gets to cool off! He's met so many new friends, his favourite being Sam, a shepherd/hound mix who lives up the street, and he loves to play at the dog park. He's been swimming in Okanagan Lake which is basically the best thing ever, and he's doing so well in his training classes where we marvel at his incredible intelligence. And, slowly but surely he's winning over Timmy, the cat (another BCSPCA rescue).

Jasper is an amazing dog! He's so gentle and sweet (and of course a little bratty at times). He's happy, he's flourishing, he knows we're his forever family, and he has already brought us a lot of joy.

Thank you!"

Thank you so much to Jasper's furever family for this wonderful update and for giving this lovely boy the safe home he needed ❤

Do you wonder what your cat gets up when they’re outside? 🌳🐱 A study from the University of Guelph is looking for outdoor cat owners from the South Okanagan region, who are willing to attach a state-of-the-art camera to their cat for 5-weeks! This miniaturized, collared camera records everything the cat sees and does outside, allowing researchers to study what dangers impact cats while they are out, and to understand which wildlife are eaten by outdoor cats.

Study participants will be given a 20-min highlight reel of the footage their cat records and be entered in a draw for 1 of 3, $50 gift cards (approximately 1/10 chance) to a pet store of their choice! If interested, please fill out the following survey: https://uoguelph.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2n8jGMtsGpBrBVs

Happy Monday! 🐱 We wanted to share a very heartwarming adoption update that we received on Binky!! 🎉❤️💛💚💙💜

"He's been settling in really well, has met the dogs and gets along with them, and has already claimed a corner of my bed as well as my heart! He didn't eat too much on the first couple of days, but is starting to eat more! He wasn't very interested in the gourmet treats I got for him, but the moment I bought him some Temptations treats, he went crazy for them! I put the harness on him and we checked out the backyard and he really liked that! We've got our vet appointment scheduled for next week and he's taking his meds surprisingly well! (He likes that I give him treats afterwards lol)

He's such a sweetheart and such a calm cat! I'm so lucky to have adopted him! He was making biscuits on my bed since the first day and has been purring non stop since! He'll meow at me from across the room and I'll meow back at him and he just comes running over and it's adorable!

I've attached some photos to share with you guys because I'm just so overjoyed to have him that I want to take as many pictures of him as I can!

My roommate and I have added to his nicknames, including: Jar jar binks, binkster, stinky binky, binky baby. and binks! He has a plethora of nicknames and a whole lot of love to go along with it!

Thank you guys for blessing me with this amazing, sweet old man! :) "
