Meet Atticus! 💚 A gentle giant with a heart as big as his paws! This strong and handsome boy may look imposing, but his true nature shines through in his sweet and loyal personality.

Atticus loves nothing more than being by your side, whether it’s on a long walk, playing in the yard, or snuggling up for some quality downtime. He’s super smart, eager to please, and thrives on positive reinforcement, making him a joy to train and bond with.

This handsome pup would do best in a home where he has someone to match his active and very loving spirit. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will adore you unconditionally, Atticus is your perfect match!

✨📣Black Cat Appreciation Post📣✨

Did you know ❗️❓ Black is the most common feline coat colour! This is due to the strength of the gene that causes black fur.

We currently have six black kitties in shelter looking for their forever homes now or in the near future!

Ace is an approximately 2 year old man who came to the shelter as a stray. He's waiting for his neuter appointment, but is available for foster-to-adopt! https://adopt.spca.bc.ca/pets/779154/

Luffy is approximately 5 years old, and came to us from the same outdoor family as Ace. He's also looking for a foster-to-adopt home while he awaits his neuter. https://adopt.spca.bc.ca/pets/779155/

Robin & Zoro are bonded little buddies! These two were also found as strays, and are now looking for a foster-to-adopt home together! https://adopt.spca.bc.ca/pets/779156/

Blue is a senior gentleman at 14 years young who is working with his vet team to get his thyroid condition under control 💪 If you're interested in helping this sweet older gentleman on his journey, send us an email at [email protected]!

Toothless is such a special girl, not only because of her slick black coat, but because she's a scottish fold! Like Blue, Toothless is currently working hard with her vet team to get her health into tip top shape before looking for her forever home. If you're interested in helping this special girl, shoot us an email to [email protected]

Atticus is a young and energetic BIG boy looking for a new home!! This majestic canine is looking for a strong and experienced human to help him learn how to behave in the great wide world! Atticus is so excited about life and wants to meet everyone! After a rough start, we're so proud of our boy. He's come a long way from the emaciated dog he was! This handsome guy can be selective with other dogs, and he won't be a candidate for dog parks or cohabitation with another dog at this juncture in his life. Atticus does love to play and would enjoy meeting compatible dog-friends one-on-one! 🐶 Working with an AnimalKind trainer will help Atticus' next family set him up for success! 🐾
