My story

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

Thank you for your interest in Skipper. We don't know how Skipper turned out so great. It certainly wasn't because humans gave him a great start in life or loved him. He was in a barn. Smelly and undersocialized. He likely only met humans when they grabbed him to shave his hair off or give him a needle. That all ended the day SPIN got the call that the puppy mill was going to release a male, standard poodle they no longer needed or wanted. We couldn't get him fast enough! He is such a great boy and he is loving life!

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.
