Metro Vancouver pup stuck in shelter for over a year gets a "pitty party"
A shelter in Metro Vancouver clearly has a good sense of humour. To help share a loveable pup’s story, it threw her a “pitty party” to mark one year at the shelter.
Connie has lived at the Delta Community Animal Shelter for a year now. On Thursday, November 24, she had a pity party “in hopes that she can pull at someone’s heartstrings and land herself a loving home she so desperately deserves,” the shelter wrote in a social media post.
The shelter told Daily Hive that she was found floating on a log boom in the Fraser River after the flood in 2022.
They held her and notified their partner organizations about her, but no one came forward, and she’s been with the shelter this whole time.
“It’s kind of sad that she’s been with us this long, but we’re hopeful that the right home out there will reach out to us,” the shelter said.

Connie, a chocolate-coloured cane corso mix, is high energy and still needs lots of training because she can jump and pull on the leash.
“She’s a big dog, and she can get quite excitable. We’ve been working on that behaviour in the shelter, and it’s behaviour that persists today,” the shelter said.
“She’s going to be a bit of a project, but we know she loves to be around people.”
Her ideal home would be one without young kids or other animals.
You can learn more about Connie and how you can apply to care for her on the Delta Community Animal Shelter website.
Connie’s pity party is happening just as another dog in Whistler, Lola, is also looking for a home after spending four years, most of her life, in a shelter feeling lonely.
Is there room in your home and heart for a dog in need, like Connie?
“She’s going to be a lovely dog, it’s just a matter of someone being able to invest that time in her,” the shelter said.
