My personality

My story

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

Thank you for your interest in Benny. His life didn’t get off to the easiest start — likely born in a puppy mill, Benny had very little exposure to the world around him. When a family brought him home, they quickly realized they didn’t have the skills to support his fears, and Benny struggled. That’s when SPIN got the call to help.

When we first met Benny, he was timid but curious — a dog who wanted to trust, if only someone would give him the time and space to do so. And slowly but surely, that’s exactly what he’s been learning in his foster home.

Benny has always been a sensitive dog, particularly around unfamiliar people and stimulating situations. With time, routine, and calm handling, he forms deep bonds and becomes loyal, affectionate, and playful with those he trusts.

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.
