THE RESCUE OF WEE "NORTH STAR"
Muffled sounds of distress came from the cardboard box behind the store in the Northern BC town of Prince George. It was -35 and it was only by chance that a woman heard those faint cries. What she found in the box was a three-month old Yorkie pup with a rubber band around its muzzle.

that the someone who was coming into her pitch-dark scary yard might be kindly.

IS THE SPCA STILL NOT ACTING FOR NEGLECTED HORSES? For many decades, the BC SPCA ignored many starving horses, forcing private citizens to save the horses from severe starvation, dehydration, freezing, cruelty, abuse and neglect. |

THE RESCUE OF A CHAINED PUPPY NAMED TRIP I came across a tiny puppy who was chained to a clothesline. Night was falling and the puppy was howling and alone. There was no water, no food. My children and I walked over to the pup and sat with him because he was scared, shaking and obviously desperate not to be alone. |

CHANCE MAKES FRIENDS AT AMBLESIDE PARK Before he was rescued did Chance get taken to beaches with a gang of friends where he could wade and paddle? He does now, twice a day, every single day! |

BOUNCER
The owners of Bouncer are heroin addicts and when they were offered the money they released Bouncer to Maureen.

Ten years on a lonely chain in a dirty yard,
howling for help, -40 in Winter and scorching in Summer. Did anyone
care? No one did anything until an AAS rescuer did.

Esmeralda needs your heart and your home.
Feebly crying for help with all the will to live that she had left, Esmeralda was found by a kindly cat-lover who followed her weakening cries through the tall grasses at the side of the highway. That is probably where Esmeralda was dropped by her "family" from their car and she was too afraid to leave.

Wee Oscar was thrown over the railings at the top of the stairs, and then given away when he couldn't walk. That "family" only kept him for a few days. And then - at last - wee Oscar got the luck that he had always deserved, the luck that would save him from a short, terrified life of pain. He was spotted by an Animal Advocates rescuer |

Barb's Lucky Pups and Other
Pets
Over the years, many lucky dogs and other animals have been swept up into Barb's loving arms where they live lives of love, fun, compassion, and always wisdom. AAS has been honoured to know the animals and to help to pay their bills, of which there have been many because once at Barb's their lives are never put at risk again by being given away, and they live until they die, always at advanced ages. A happy old age means lots of bills. Here are a few of their stories. More stories and photos |

Where were some Howling Dogs' dogs
obtained?
The SPCA Agent believed that Howling Dogs owner, Bob Fawcett, bought some dogs from SPCAs. If true, that would be more reason not to have Bob Fawcett charged, keeping him out of court where the SPCA's involvement in his business, whether by supplying him with dogs or by keeping him in business by not ever shutting him down in spite of a decade of offences under the PCA Act, would be exposed. |

Why did the SPCA kill Titan?
I was certain during all my years in growing up that the SPCA loved animals, but I don't think so anymore and neither do some other Surrey SPCA volunteers Post your comment on the AAS WatchDog

Why did the SPCA kill Tyson?
Tyson was a giant puppy who, after a puppyhood of abuse and neglect got a chance at happiness, or so I thought, but I was wrong. Tyson's life videos: |

Rest In Peace dear Tyson
I asked to be present when they killed him. I went and I spoiled him with treats. I wanted to show him that, through all of treatment from the organization that was created to help him, he did know love and I knew that he loved me in return.

The Bosleys Pet Foods Adventure with
Howling Dogs Sled Dogs
Early in 2008, I was working for Bosleys Pet Foods. Our store won a trip to Whistler for dog sledding. It was my first trip to Whistler and, being a long-time sled dog fan, I was ecstatic. We actually went with Howling Dog Tours. |

Maybe it wouldn't have if the SPCA hadn't "swept complaints under the carpet." |

RESERVE DOGS RESCUE
I am writing to you from Nimpo Lake, 200 miles
west of Williams Lake. I found two hungry dogs in the woods and one has a limp.
My neighbor wants to shoot them but I asked them not to. I am on borrowed time
because if the dogs get too close to their chicken barn they will shoot. They
are lovely dogs with very gentle personalities. I am on a fixed income. Is
there anything you can do to help me? Pay for transport to help? There is nobody
out here in the bush who cares what happens to these dogs. I am asking for some
sort of assistance. |

SKY'S RESCUE
UPDATE
Thank you so much for your quick help...I am blown
away at how generous, caring, and amazingly helpful you are...which is a big
shocker for me... and a relief. Up here I am ridiculed, thought of as some
sort of nutcase among local bush-folk. I am told by my neighbour that rescuing
animals is embarrassing. She said she wasn't going to dare tell her family and
friends that I had the audacity to feed two starving dogs. I should have
let them die...or should have let someone go off and shoot them. Animals are
considered to be not much more than inanimate objects in this area. It makes me
sick... So thank you. |

RESERVE CATS RESCUE 2010: COMPASSION COSTS Crazy Kitten and Fritz were tame enough to rehome but Jetta was truly feral and had to be put back out on the reserve where the rescuer will make sure she is fed and any health problems taken care of. AAS paid for all the bills for Crazy, Jetta, and Fritz, thanks to our cat-loving donors.

IN MEMORY OF MUNCHKIN This is Munchkin after the SPCA finally, at my repeated urging, had him groomed. If a groomer can do this to him, how can he be so aggressive? He would lick my face all over. I work 5 minutes away, so I visited him every day and took him for 1 hr walks on my lunch hour. When I asked if I could adopt him, they gave him the test, said he failed, and they put him down. Tell the SPCA that you don't want them killing any more dogs. |

HOW MUCH IS THE BC SPCA DOING FOR
CHAINED DOGS? Prince George BC where Winters can be -40 degrees and the flies in Summer are thick, especially on dogs that live in their own excrement. It was in Prince George in October 2009 that the SPCA launched its provincewide campaign to highlight plight of chained dogs. 2010 A moment before this photo was taken, Cherry was grinning from ear to ear and galloping up to the kind person who had come to touch her and tell her what a dear girl she is. She was suddenly jerked onto her back when her tether ran out. |

"UNCHAIN OUR FRIENDS!"Shortly after AAS launched its "UNCHAIN OUR FRIENDS" campaign the BCSPCA sent out a province-wide press release announcing its chained dog campaign, making statements that sounded much as though it was going to take action. It made its announcement in Prince George, BC, where many dogs are chained all year, where the temperatures can drop to -40 degrees in the Winter. 2010: AAS continues to get reports of cruelty neglected dogs from all over BC, many from Prince George, some who are suffering from diseases, all of whom have been reported to and ignored by the BCSPCA, like Cherry. |
