SENIOR PUP: Siren is a female senior canine in need of a home. She is waiting at BC SPCA qathet to be adopted.

Looking for a low-maintenance best friend?

Staff at BC SPCA qathet describe Siren as a gentle, female, 11-year-old Formosan mountain dog. She is waiting to be adopted at qathet Community Animal Centre, located at 7558 Duncan Street.

According to BC SPCA qathet, this older dog is the definition of easy-breezy. 

"This lovely senior lady is quiet, calm and already house-trained; she’s the kind of companion who brings a soft, grounding energy to any home," stated BC SPCA qathet, on its website. "Siren loves people and enjoys being around her humans, though she’s not overly needy. She’ll gladly share a couch or even your bed if invited, offering gentle kisses and the occasional majestic spin move when she’s feeling playful."

According to BC SPCA qathet, despite her age, she had some surprising speed and a serious love for scent games.

"While she’s great with other respectful dogs, Siren prefers a chill vibe and isn’t into rowdy play," stated BC SPCA qathet. "She walks beautifully on a leash, adores car rides and finds joy just lying in the grass soaking up the world."

Siren is mostly deaf, so she takes in the world at her own pace, but she’s tuned into what really matters: treats, naps and love.

BC SPCA qathet recommends a feline-free home, although Siren could happily coexist with another calm, like-minded dog.

Anyone looking for a low-maintenance best friend with a heart of gold and a soul full of grace, might find Siren to be the perfect match.
