Story
Meet Niko, a six-year-old Standard Poodle whose world has always revolved around his people. When his prior family reached out to SPIN, it wasn’t because they didn’t love him — in fact, it was quite the opposite. Life changes meant they could no longer give him the structure, time, and one-on-one attention he thrives on. They wanted to set him up for success, and that meant finding a home that could truly match his energy, his intelligence, and his big, loyal heart. Niko arrived in foster care with the sweetness, house manners, and affectionate nature he’d always had — and he’s been blossoming with the predictability, routine, and kindness of his foster home. He’s a fun, bouncy, endlessly curious boy who loves fetch, outdoor adventures, and staying close to “his” person. He isn’t the laid-back golden-retriever type; Niko is a sensitive, intuitive poodle who notices everything, learns quickly, and thrives when his world makes sense.

Story
We recently adopted Buddy just over 1.5yrs ago from the Clarington shelter. He was brought in as a stray so unfortunately we have no idea what he truly went through. Buddy is a very sweet, loving and caring dog. He is extremely affectionate, loves his treats and loves to cuddle. He is also a very anxious dog which unfortunately comes off as reactivity. In the time that weve had him, he did bite once. We briefly tried behavioural training but unfortunately we did not make much progress as we weret able to devote enough time for Buddy due to our work schedules. Although he is a much different dog now than he was 1.5 years ago, its unfortunately not something we can keep up with in our family. He really has made tremendous progress these last 18 months. Is gotten to the point where we feel like weve done all we can but he just needs more. He needs a good, healthy and calm environment. He needs someone who has more experience with dogs with behavioural issues and consistency.

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
🌟 Meet Becky – Your New Best Friend! 🌟 Introducing Becky, a sweet and affectionate girl who recently arrived from Mexico after being rescued from the streets by a kind local rescuer. We believe Becky is a Schnauzer/Terrier mix, approximately 2 years old and weighing around 11.5 kg. Though she has only been with her foster family for a few days, her foster mom says she is already showing what a happy, content, lovable, and gentle dog she truly is. Becky enjoys the company of other dogs and would thrive in a family environment, especially one with another friendly pup in the home. Becky sleeps soundly through the night and absolutely loves going for walks—she’s doing wonderfully on leash! Not only does she get along well with other dogs, but she is also unfazed by cats. While stairs were new to her at first, she figured them out in just a couple of days. This playful girl adores spending time in the backyard, especially when she’s romping around with her foster dog sibling. Her housetraining is improving every day, and we believe she would do best in a home with a secure backyard where she can run, play, and explore safely. We’re still getting to know Becky, but so far she has been an absolute delight. If you believe Becky would be a wonderful addition to your family, apply today. She has so much love to give—and she truly deserves the very best. 💛 Becky is being fostered in Cobourg. ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly.

Story
💛 Name: Carlo 💛 Age: 10 💛 Breed: poodle mix 💛 Weight: 22 lb 💛 Fostered in: Toronto 💛 Ideal family: loving, kind family who is home often November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and while November may be almost over, it’s still the perfect time to welcome a senior dog into your life — especially one as wonderful as CARLO. At 10 years old and 22lbs, this sweet poodle mix has all the best qualities that make senior dogs so special. Carlo is gentle, steady, and easy to love. He gets along well with other dogs - cats are unknown but we think he will be fine with his calm nature. He enjoys being outside, and walks nicely on a leash. He does reasonably well with stairs, and while he’s still getting used to housetraining, he’s eager to please and making progress. That said, as we age some of us have to go more often so Carlo may need support in that regard. Carlo is not super active, preferring a calmer pace and a cozy spot near his people. In fact, he’s a true Velcro dog who loves being close and soaking up every bit of affection. He has quickly developed a bond (aka obsession) with his foster mom but is friendly to others he meets. He seems to have a slight preference towards women but if approached in the right way by men, he is just fine. Senior dogs bring a sense of calm, gratitude, and companionship that’s hard to match, and Carlo is ready to share all of that with a forever family. If you’ve been considering adopting a senior pup, Carlo is the perfect reminder that the best things in life only get better with time. ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly.

Story
Looking to add a little sparkle to your life? Meet Goldie, a tiny treasure (about 9lbs) whose breed is as mysterious as a locked jewelry box. We even ran her photos through an app — and still couldn’t crack the code. What do you think she might be? What we do know is that she’s pure gold inside and out. At around 2 years old, this playful, affectionate little gem lights up every room with her zoomies, cuddles, and big personality. She’d shine especially bright in a home with another playful dog and with people who enjoy her 24-karat energy. If you’re searching for a pup who’s worth her weight in gold, Goldie might just be the crown jewel you’ve been waiting for. ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly.
