Why did the SPCA kill little old Oreo? *LINK* *PIC*

My name is Debbie Holland and the SPCA in Campbell River BC killed our old dog Oreo because I didn’t have the $500 to have her teeth fixed!!! Oreo was part of our lives for 12 years she was beginning to get confused at times and wondered off and that's how the SPCA got her twice in a couple of months, but on the second time I told the lady at the SPCA that the gate was finished the day they took her. I was so crushed when they took her away from me. My 2 kids went to the SPCA and spent an hour with her before they killed her and she was jumping and wanting to go home and I just didn't have the money....we were crying and begged to take her home. OMG we miss her soooo much.
Families on limited incomes just have their pets killed...... how sad for those children... money doesn’t make you have more love!! We are still crying.....................

I didn't know my rights to object to their authority. I just miss her and wish I knew my rights. I hold so much guilt over this situation. Though the first time she was picked up they insisted that I have her looked at by a Vet and I complied and have a $200.00 Vet bill for a rash she had that I now know was a food allergy and I had a copy of that bill sent to the CR SPCA. And that's when we started building the fence to contain her. It was completed the day that they took her the second time. They told me that they would not give her back unless I could prove to them that I was able to come up with the monies for her teeth. I thought I had no choice. I'm on a disability pension and find it difficult to address emotional issues not to mention the lack of energy. Thanks again for your support and I wish I knew about your organization prior to them killing our baby.

This is my Oreo...
