Poodle puppies and dogs in Ontario

PICKERING, ON - Meet Bebe — professional heart-stealer, part-time scaredy-cat, full-time good boy! Bebe is one of those dogs who reminds you that it truly takes a village. Thanks to some determined rescue heroes, Bebe and his dad Milo were given the chance to trade a tough past for vet care, safety, and a fresh start with SPIN — and we were lucky enough to welcome him into foster care. When Bebe first arrived, people were… let’s say highly suspicious. He preferred bouncing around like a nervous ping-pong ball rather than getting close, because for most of his life, avoiding humans was just smart survival. Fast-forward to now and Bebe has learned that some people are actually pretty great (especially the ones with treats and gentle voices). Others? Still a work in progress — but hey, self-growth takes time.

Beau Jax is a 4-year-old standard poodle weighing approximately 85 lbs, currently being fostered in Stouffville. He’s new to his foster home and is a very shy, gentle soul who is still finding his footing after losing the person he loved dearly. His owner sadly passed away, but it’s clear Beau Jax was truly cherished—his calm, sweet nature speaks volumes about the love he knew. Beau Jax is a true gentleman. He’s fully house-trained, has excellent manners in the home, and prefers a relaxed lifestyle filled with cozy naps and quiet snuggles. While he hasn’t shown much interest in play just yet, he absolutely loves affection and will happily soak up pats and attention. He has no anxiety when left alone, making him an easy companion for someone who needs to step out during the day. He’s low to medium energy, great with other dogs, and will politely let you know when someone is at the door. He hasn’t shown overexcitement when being outside so far, which may be due to the cold weather or simply because he feels more secure relaxing in his foster home while everything is still so new. Beau Jax has a great appetite and enjoys a steady, calm routine. As a standard poodle, he will require regular grooming and will benefit from leash training, as he is a big, strong boy. He would do best with someone confident and physically able to handle his strength on walks. He requires a house with a fully fenced in backyard. Overall, Beau Jax is a calm, sweet, and affectionate companion who is ready for a loving home where he can continue to feel safe, secure, and adored. ••••••••• 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.

Meet Fiona 💕🐾 — a sweet, gentle girl with a lovely balance of playful energy and laid-back cuddle time. Fiona adores being near her people and is respectful in the home—no destructive habits here. She’s fully housetrained, crate trained, and settles easily into a predictable routine. Her days include playtime with her foster family, independent toy time, and romping in the snow (one of her favorite things!), followed by calm evenings and a quiet night’s sleep in her crate. She does well when left alone and has been comfortably crated for up to 4½ hours. Fiona gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playing, sleeping nearby, and keeping watch together. While she doesn’t require another dog in her forever home, she would likely enjoy having one. She plays nicely with humans and dogs, loves squeaky toys (especially balls), and has no prey drive. She may alert bark at noises or people outside, but otherwise settles well in a calm, structured home. Fiona does have allergies and will likely need a special diet and monthly medication long-term, which has helped her stay happy and comfortable. She also has a bite history from before coming into foster care; however, details around the situation are unknown, and no concerning behaviors have been observed while in foster. Fiona has settled in beautifully and would thrive with an understanding adopter who values routine, companionship, and a loyal, affectionate best friend 💖🐶

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!

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Henley! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Henley is a beautiful 3-year-old Standard Poodle. You might recognize her as she is a previous PDR rescue. Due to unforeseen major life changes and no fault of her own, Henley was returned to Pound Dog Rescue. We are Henley’s original foster home and we welcomed her back with open arms! The growth and major strides this girl has made, is amazing to say the least. When Henley originally came to us, she was terrified of everyone and everything. She earned the nickname of “Henny Penny” as in her world, everything was terrifying. Today she walks around happy, excited and with growing confidence. When we first took in Henley, she was part of a large rescue mission from a northern puppy mill. She was living in filthy conditions with minimal nutrition, and she was under weight. Henley had limited human interaction and what she did have must have been a negative experience. She came to us as a very shut down and terrified girl. She was kept in a kennel with no socialization, positive human contact, exercise, or affection and this had really impacted her young life. What Henley went through does still affect how she navigates her world. She is still timid (more so around males) and will flinch if you come at her too fast. She prefers to watch a situation before engaging and she prefers a calm environment. However, Henley is a completely different dog from when she first came to us, and she continues to grow and make significant breakthroughs. Henley’s forever home will need a female presence and experience with timid dogs. She is most comfortable with females but is getting more comfortable around males and will interact and look for some scratches and kisses. She requires her people to have patience as she continues to progress and come out of her shell. Henley is such a beautiful, sweet and gentle girl. Henley is very treat driven and has learned her basic commands of sit, down and wait. She has completed her level one obedience training and will enjoy further obedience classes. This training will help with her confidence and is integral to her growth. She is very smart and will thrive with training and watching other dogs complete the challenges. Henely is always watching to see how other dogs are handling the situation so training in a controlled environment will give her a large boost of confidence. Henley loves her walks, and she is taken out on a martingale collar. This type of collar gives an added boost to her security in case she is spooked. She absolutely loves the outdoors and enjoys her daily walks, twice per day. She walks in the front with her foster dog sisters and is such a good quiet walker. She doesn’t bother with any of the other barking dogs in the area and will walk nicely with her pack. Henley’s most favourite spot to be is outside. She is truly herself outdoors, so Henley’s forever family will need to love the outdoors as much as she does and have a large, fenced yard for her to play. Rain or shine, this girl loves to run, play, and even sleep outside in the yard. She feels completely free outdoors and turns into a goofy and playful pup. She loves to play chase and wrestle with her foster dog sisters. She is being fostered with 2 young standard poodles and is always the first to start play time and the last to stop playing. She is a very energetic and lively pup. When the dogs are finished playing, she will run around and throw her own toys and chase them down. She has started to bring her toys to me to be thrown and will happily jump and pounce in the yard to retrieve them. Henley requires playmates in her forever home to feel comfortable. She will need one or two younger, energetic dogs in her life. We’ve had several functions at our place and Henley easily accepted new people into her space. She will not be a social butterfly; however, she will approach people on her own terms. If they are sitting down, she will approach each person and quietly sniff and sometimes even lick them. She may also stick around and look for some scratches from your guests. My advice to any of my guests was just to leave her alone and to pretend like she wasn’t there. Henley continues to grow and she becomes more comfortable every day. Henley follows her foster dog sisters around the house and will sleep on the dog’s beds with them or even the couch. She has made herself at home and loves to be around her humans and pack. She is house trained and will go a full 8 hours without any issue. In the morning, this seems to be the one time that she lets her guard down. She will hop onto my bed with the other dogs and will allows scratches, belly rubs and lots of kisses. But after that, she is ready to move! She is so excited to start each new day. Sometimes her exuberance is a bit much before a cup of coffee 😊 She is so excited that she will bark/yip all the way to the back door. We are working on this; however, it is definitely a work in progress. She loves outside so much that she has a hard time containing her excitement. Henley is still learning how to be a dog and gains most of her knowledge and confidence from her pack. Through the other dogs, she has learned how to properly interact, and her confidence continues to grow. Henley needs to live with a young, energetic, and confident dog. She needs a playmate that can keep up with her energy levels and show her how to navigate through our scary world. Henley is a Standard Poodle and has a beautiful cream and red coat. She is considered hypoallergenic as she is a hair breed dog. With this comes regular brushing, bathing, ear cleaning and grooming. Henley has handled all of her baths and grooming well. Keep her coat short and tidy and you should be able to keep any matting from occurring. Henley’s ideal home will be one with direct access to a safe fenced, large yard in a quiet rural setting or quiet neighbourhood. She can get overwhelmed by a lot of traffic noises and will not enjoy busy areas where a lot of people are around her. Henley requires an adult only home or a home with older teenage children. Henley has been fantastic with every dog in our home and bonds quickly with her pack. She needs another dog in the home as she loves to play and requires their guidance. However, what Henley needs most is a person or people who are kind, and patient and experienced in working with timid dogs. She has made huge strides in her foster home and is ready to move on to the next stage of her life in a loving forever home. Henley is such a sweet, gentle and kindhearted girl. She will grow to trust her forever family, she will just move at a different and slower pace than other dogs. It brings so much joy when she walks up to you with her guard down looking for a kiss and some chin and butt scratches. Watching her grow is truly rewarding! Is Henley the dog for you?

Levi is a 6-year-old male "mini Doodle" who is 35 pounds. Levi loves his people – he has yet to meet a human he doesn’t like! He has a youthful, puppy-like spirit, loves to play, and is extremely affectionate with the people he bonds with. He is friendly, gentle, people-focused, and thrives on companionship. He was raised in a family environment and loves to be where his people are. He was recently adopted by a young family, however in his second week with the family, he exhibited resource guarding behaviour with toys that made the adoptive family question his fit in their family with two young children. There were no guarding issues noted in the third week so it could have been transition-related.  In either case, it is important that we are transparent with our observations and interactions.  We had a behaviour trainer go and meet Levi.  His report is available and noted the guarding seemed to be focussed on two particular toys and he was easily countered with treats - and of course his toy returned immediately. Levi is healthy and is fed a raw diet which is working well for him. No known health issues.  He loves the home life and is happy to follow his people around the house and nap  where they are. He respects furniture (has not tried to climb on any couches or beds) and is completely housetrained. He is quiet in the house with minimal barking, however will bark when first left alone. After which time he will settle and is non-destructive when left alone. He loves to go for walks where he spends a lot of time sniffing and exploring his surroundings. He does pull on the leash, however he’s shown considerable improvement in this area during the time with his current family. He pulls on leash toward other dogs and usually approaches with too much energy. He is working on his polite greetings so as not to get off on the wrong foot with potential dog friends. He has not been off leash with other dogs under his current family’s care, so it’s uncertain how he would be in those situations. Also uncertain how he would be with cats. An ideal home would be a couple, a family (with dog savvy older children) or a person who is home most of the time. Someone who has had dogs before and is willing to work with Levi on resource guarding if it surfaces again . Ideally a home with a yard or outdoor space where he can run and play fetch. An active lifestyle with regular walks and engagement.January 11, 2026, 5:03 pm
