Story
Thank you for your interest in Hubert. He is such a fun loving, energetic, happy, barky boy. He loves people and dogs and life. Some of it he loves a little too much. Well, not too much for him but too much for other dogs. But he is really just a softee who wants to run and play and be chased. Hubert hasn't had the best start in life. He was sold to an elderly owner who wasn't able to manage a happy, energetic dog so Hubert landed in a day care/boarding facility. His owner wasn't able to take him back and the really sad things started happening. He was sold, returned, sold, returned and finally someone took him to the vet. Hubert was really matted and was finally groomed. It was then discovered that he had a terrible ear infection and an infected toe! Once again people had failed him. Off to the vet he went and as soon as he received treatment he felt so much better and his happy came out! He went to live with another family and they really loved him but underestimated how much energy is required when you have a dog like Hubert so SPIN was called. Hubert is just the kind of dog we love! Running, bouncing, barking, playing, snuggling, hugging, what could be better?

Story
Jean-Pierre (JP) is a striking three-year-old Standard Poodle who has made remarkable progress since being found abandoned in Quebec. When he first arrived at the shelter, he was frightened, in pain from an untreated ear infection, and unsure of people. With care, patience, and medical treatment, he started to heal — both physically and emotionally — and showed the sweet, loyal nature that defines him today.

Mags

Standard Poodle

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo
Bowmanville, ON
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mags is a young, bright, emotionally big Standard Poodle who has had a busier start to life than most. She grew up in homes that cared about her, but none were quite equipped to manage her energy, her enthusiasm, or her tendency to become overstimulated. After finding herself in a shelter—confused, over-aroused, and unsure how to channel all her excitement—Mags came into SPIN’s care so she could finally get the structure and support she has always needed. She is an affectionate, social girl with a lot of love to give, but she experiences the world at full volume. New places, new people, and outdoor environments can cause her arousal to spike quickly, which leads to jumping, grabbing, and mouthy behaviour. None of this comes from a place of aggression—Mags simply hasn’t been shown how to regulate her emotions.

DAISY

English Sheepdog

Story
Daisy is a beautiful 4-year-old Old English Sheepdog weighing approximately 65 lbs. She is typically kept shaved for easier coat maintenance and comfort. True to her breed, she is incredibly loyal and happiest when she’s right by your side. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who wants to be your shadow, Daisy is your girl. Daisy was surrendered through no fault of her own. She previously lived with a toddler and became uncomfortable with the unpredictability that can come with little ones — running, grabbing, and tugging just weren’t her thing. Some dogs simply do not enjoy living with young children, and Daisy let her feelings be known by growling when she felt unsafe. Because of this, she is looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can relax and feel secure. While she did live with another dog, her foster mom has observed that Daisy prefers to be the boss. She would do best as the only dog in the home, where she doesn’t have to share her space. That said, she absolutely enjoys social time — she loves running with the neighbour’s dog and has had many successful outdoor playdates over the years. She just prefers her own home turf to herself. No cats or other small animals please, as she does have a prey drive. Daisy is: Housetrained Crate trained (though she doesn’t really need it) Not destructive Spayed An excellent car passenger (she loves car rides!) She enjoys lounging on the couch or curling up in a cozy ball on the floor after a good run. She especially loves swimming in the lake and would be thrilled with a home that enjoys cottage days or time near the water. A fully fenced yard is a must, as she loves to stretch her legs and explore safely. On leash, Daisy pulls and will need continued work on her leash manners. She will need a confident handler who can manage her strength and help her learn to walk politely by your side. With consistency and structure, she is very capable of improving. As with all Old English Sheepdogs, Daisy will require regular professional grooming to keep her coat healthy and comfortable. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and devoted companion to share your home (and your couch), Daisy may just be the perfect match. ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details! An application for me can be found at www.justpaws.ca. Just Paws is located in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. We do not adopt out of province or country. Please note that although many of our dogs get along with children, we are not able to adopt to any household with kids under the age of 8 years old. This is a stipulation of our insurance and is not a reflection on suitability of the potential adopter.

Story
Thank you for your interest in Mozart. Some dogs get every opportunity. Mozart is not one of them. Despite his sweetness, loyalty, and gentle nature, life has handed this beautiful Standard Poodle the short end of the stick far too many times. He has been owned, surrendered, adopted, returned, adopted again, returned again, transferred to SPIN, moved between fosters, adopted once more — and then returned yet again. Each time, Mozart tried. Each time, he bonded. And each time, humans let him down. When a Quebec shelter reached out for help after his second return, we knew we had to step in. Beneath his stress and confusion, there was a wonderful dog whose emotional needs simply weren’t being met. Once in our care, we discovered he was a purebred Standard Poodle with a heart bigger than his struggles — and a history that finally needed to change. Today, Mozart has been with dedicated, experienced fosters for two months. He is decompressing, learning, and showing us exactly who he is when he feels safe and understood.

Story
Thank you for your interest in Milo. He had a tough start in life. Thankfully one of SPIN's colleagues learned about him and his son, Bebe and they got to work helping the owner realize they should surrender their dogs so that they could get great care and live in a house. When Milo came in he was in bad shape. Thankfully he was rushed to the vet and a groomer. After vaccinations, a neuter, a bath and a haircut he was good as new. That's when SPIN got the call to see if we could help Milo and Bebe. How could we say no? Our wonderful volunteers rushed to pick the dogs up and bring them to our volunteer foster in Bowmanville. We met such great dogs! Milo is happy and full of life and he quickly let us know that he loves food!
