Story
Thank you for your interest in Rollo. He is a gorgeous, 7 year old, standard poodle who came to us when tragedy struck. He was living on a farm with him Mom and Dad and life was grand. Then Dad died and Mom got sick and had to move. It was hard for Rollo as he lost his best friend and had to move to the scary city. He tried to adjust but everything was hard. There was a lot of activity around him and he just couldn't handle it so his family asked if SPIN could help. How could we say no? Rollo came in and settled into life at his foster.

Story
Some dogs are born into loving homes and then are adored for the rest of their lives. Others are not. And this happened to SPIN’s beautiful Salem. Salem wasn’t perfect. Goodness knows he wasn’t perfect. He pulled on leash and chased the cats and he was bouncy and playful and a little mouthy and he growled at his owner when they tried to punish him. For four years this was his life. Four years of being a disappointment because he was, you know, a standard poodle. Many people desire a perfect dog, or perhaps a warm, stuffed animal—cuddly, soft, quiet, perfect. They often believe this is how dogs naturally are, not considering their energy, intelligence, playfulness, and fears. When these traits emerge, people blame the dog, and resentment settles in. We loved him right away. Everyone who met him liked him immediately! What a smart, cuddly pup! Of course, we are all poodle people and all we could say to him was, "Welcome to SPIN, buddy!" To help him overcome his general level of anxiety that was built up over the 4 years he was in a stressful home, SPIN put him on Fluoxetine. And man, has this helped. You will see below in the description from his foster that he is still a little jumpy around loud noised and new things – he still doesn’t love having his ears and neck touched or pulled. I think we can understand why. Ah, Salem, we will find you a home where you can feel safe, warm and loved.

Story
Meet Pal! This young dog is looking for a quiet home with an active lifestyle. His ideal match would be an active single person who is not away from home for extended periods of time.Pal loves human companionship, but it does take him some time to trust and warm up to any kind of physical touch. Loud noises also tend to stress him out, and this is why a quiet environment but active lifestyle is ideal for Pal. He would also benefit greatly from having a social dog in his home who can match his playful energy, but also help him to build confidence and feel safe.If you are looking for a walking companion, look no further than Pal! He loves adventures and will have his nose to the ground the entire time! Any walk that allows him the opportunity to dip his toe beans in water are his favourite! A rural home in a quiet neighbourhood would be the best fit for this little guy, as he is a little nervous and reactive around busy traffic. Walks are a very integral part of Pal`s needs to stay in balance and as a high energy/anxiety dog, Pal is currently on Trazadone and Fluoxetine twice a day to help him regulate his emotions and reactivity. These are supports that Pal will need for life, in combination with lots of activity to be at his best and to feel his best as well.A fully fenced yard is an absolute must for Pal. Invisible or agricultural (hedges) will not be suitable for him.Pal is exceptionally clean and well-mannered in the home. He has no destructive behaviours, and is fully crate trained. Pal enjoys sharing toys while at play with another dog, but he has shown guarding tendencies with humans, so this will be something that has to be carefully monitored.We would not recommend Pal for a home with cats as he does like to chase and bark a them. We also feel that a kid-free environment is a must for Pal, and if his forever home has visitors, he should be crated as he could quickly become overwhelmed with a lot of noise and unusual activity.Pal is currently eating a wet food diet, and he enjoys liver treats as well. The true way to Pal`s heart is to allow him a lot of time and space to feel safe before expecting too much from him. While he does love to be loved, it seems like he may have experienced some trauma and is very unsure of new people. His adopter will need to understand that he will need time and patience to feel safe and build his confidence before he will show his softer side.As a hypoall

Story
Meet Sissy & Fifi! If you appreciate this breed, you will definitely want to consider this adorable twosome! These girls are full of personality and charm! They are looking for a happily-ever-after home willing to welcome them both as these two go together like peas and carrots! Don`t be fooled though, they also LOVE their humans as well. We feel they would do best in a home without kids, or kids 10+. They currently share their foster home with big and little dogs, as well as cats. They have zero issues sharing space with other animals, though they can be a little nervous around bigger dogs, particularly when they are first introduced. Once they feel safe, they are pretty much indifferent.Though they are bonded, they do appreciate some breaks from one another, as one may wander off to burrow under pillows and blankets in the next room for a nap. They adore car rides, and seem to know what`s up when going through the Tim`s drive through! These dogs have never met any kind of human food they weren`t down to try, and you might have to keep an eye on them, as they are quick to try to steal and run with food left within their reach. Both girls are pee pad trained as well as leash trained, though Sissy may tire after her pee and ask to be carried the rest of the way.These girls do appreciate having access to their own crates to come and go as they please, and when left alone, Foster Mama lets them free roam in a contained room with their crates open, and often finds they will put themselves in their respective crates for a nap. FM does not recommend crating them together unless the door is fully open. They do prefer to be with their people as much as possible, so their ideal family would be work-from-home, or just homebodies where they would not find themselves left on their own for extended periods of time.These two cuddlers can show some mild resource guarding of their people, but give clear signs when they don`t want to share, and it has been easily managed. They are very food motivated, but not particularly interested in toys. They can be mischievous, but are true couch potatoes most of the time.Though the Chinese Crested is considered a hypoallergenic breed, their sparse coats will still require regular grooming. If you would like to be considered for Sissy & Fifi, please visit our web site at www.K9C.ca to complete our online application as only those apps will be reviewed by our placement team. Please note, our dogs

Story
Dixie was one of the Junk yard dogs, locked in a trailer with a few others, she was cold and nervous, jump ahead to her being comfortable and well loved at the rescue retreat she's enjoying meeting the dogs, and takes a min or two to warm up to new people. She's made huge steps while in our care, and loves a good belly rub and time outdoors. It's been a long road for these dogs but Dixie is now fully vetted and looking for a loving home to welcome her. ALL RSNB dogs are fully vetted including core shots and microchipped for safety. ALL dogs are spayed/neutered before leaving our care. We welcome visitors by appt and we look forward to meeting you! To get the process started pls find our short application at www.ruffstartnewbeginnings and we'll give you a call to discuss the dog you'd like to visit! Thank you for considering a rescue dog!
