Ellie: A dear old dog’s passage from lonely
darkness to love and light
Under heavy dark cedar boughs at the bottom of a cold backyard, a chained dog spent her life. The trees were her shelter, a hole in the dirt her bed. Read Ellie's heartwarming story

In memory of Marko
I worried about Marko for two years, often falling asleep thinking about him alone in his awful four-sided plywood cell, boxed in and shut out from the world. In the day he lived on short chain totally alone. Read Marko's heartwarming story

In memory of Brodie
In 1999 Animal Advocates Society got
one of the calls it got so frequently and dreaded so much. A woman
told us that her neighbours had been keeping their dog in a shed for
years. When the SPCA did not help him, the woman did what all
decent, socially responsible people do - she rescued him... and...

Jelly's Band
of Rescue Angels
Jelly lived the first months of her life on a concrete slab with no toy, no blanket and no one to pat her and tell her she was a good girl. She didn’t know what love was as she had never experienced it but it was there inside her, buried deep just waiting for the chance to come out. |

"Star"
Little Star was left to die, all alone, in a
box, in the dark and in the freezing cold, her cries muffled by
a tight rubber band around her muzzle which rotted her lips. Now
she's as alive as any dog can be: she has a family to play with,
she sleeps in a warm bed every night, and she has Shawna who
will ensure that she never suffers like that again. |

Please Sign the "Break
the Chains" Petition

BC Woman Risks Jail to
Rescue Abused Dogs
This British Columbia woman is willing to spend her own money and risk going to jail to rescue dogs she believes are being neglected to the point of abuse and cruelty. |

Two Sick Veal Calves Saved from Slaughter
Two sick veal calves, Popeye and Royal, would have been killed unless a rescuer stepped in. She couldn't afford the vet bills, so she asked Animal Advocates for help. We said Yes, of course! That is what we do – all over BC. |

Animal Advocates Society's
"Dear Old Dogs"
Holly had her first swim today. She was a bit dubious about the life jacket with a handle on it, and going down a ramp (she does not like ramps) into warm water in a warm room. |

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.

DEAR, DEAR PUPPY PURDY. I
will never forget how the look on her wee puppy face changed as it dawned on her
that the someone who was coming into her pitch-dark scary yard might be kindly.

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. |

TOO MANY CATS AAS was able to rehome the one litter still available and two mother cats which between them had produced 25 to 30 kittens for several years.

broken and decayed teeth and how AAS made sure that they live out their lives,
with their loved-ones, free of pain...

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: |

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. |

BC SPCA Manager of Cruelty
Investigations, Marcie Moriarty on CKNW: "This should never ever have
happened."
Maybe it wouldn't have if the SPCA hadn't "swept complaints under the carpet." |

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. |
