My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rusty is a great dog but he is nervous of new experiences and situations. He is just seeing a lot of things for the first time in his life and he doesn't know what they are nor how to act around them. His new family is going to need to take it easy with him and teach him that the world is a little scary but mostly wonderful and full of exciting and fun things! Rusty will benefit from intentional training so working with a qualified, positive trainer will be a bonus. Rusty will also need someone willing to continue his house training. Peeing and pooping where you sleep, for three years, is a hard habit to break. Rusty is doing so well and only marks occasionally now but we expect he will back slide, just a little, when he moves to his forever home so you'll need to be understanding.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Each adoptive family will complete an application, come out to meet the available dog(s) and then email us after the meeting to let us know their intentions to pursue the adoption. We will do a home visit, check their references and then decide on the best home for each dog. Once a home is chosen, the family will sign our adoption contract and pay the $450 adoption fee prior to taking their new family member home with them!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in loving foster homes so you must have an appointment to meet them.

More about this rescue

SPIN strives to educate and raise public awareness about how to be responsible for and share your life with a companion animal. We talk about the importance of spay/neuter programs, the deplorable conditions found in puppy mills and advocate for change. We are most proud, however, of our work in engaging like-minded people together by providing a forum to discuss how to care for and celebrate the poodle breed, but also to come together when necessary to help poodles in need.
