Poodle puppies and dogs in Acton, Ontario

CAMBRIDGE, ON - At 11 years old, Tucker has entered his senior years, but don’t tell him that! This sweet Standard Poodle still gets excited about walks, loves a good play session with his stuffies, and has a very endearing habit of greeting his people at the door with a toy — or, if a toy isn’t handy, a shoe. He is affectionate, gentle and wonderfully easygoing, equally happy to join his family for a walk or curl up beside them on the couch. Tucker came to SPIN when a change in his family’s circumstances led to some stress for him, and they ultimately realized they needed help finding him a new home. Since arriving in his foster home in Cambridge, Tucker has shown his foster family just how much love and companionship this charming senior still has to give. He has been calm around visiting toddlers, has had no accidents in the house, enjoys his daily walks and is happiest when he is close to his people.

QUICK FACTS Name: Puha Age: About 4 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Standard Poodle Color: Ivory Weight: 23kg / 50.7lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an illegal breeding facility in 2024, where I had been living in extremely poor conditions without even basic necessities like electricity. Thankfully, kind rescuers stepped in and gave me the chance to leave that difficult life behind. Since then, I've been learning what it feels like to be safe, comfortable, and cared for. Now I'm looking forward to finding a loving forever family and beginning a brighter new chapter filled with warmth, happiness, and love.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Neutered & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY Hi, I'm Puha! I'm a big, handsome Standard Poodle with a wonderfully outgoing personality and a heart that seems to have endless room for people. From the very first day I arrived, I acted as though I'd already been part of the family—walking around to see what everyone was doing, introducing myself, and happily joining in wherever something interesting was happening. I'm naturally curious, social, and always eager to be included, so you can usually find me right in the middle of whatever my humans are up to. If I had to choose between dogs and people, I'd choose my people every time. I get along very well with other dogs and can happily spend time and play with them, but my attention always seems to come back to the people nearby. I'll play with whichever dogs happen to be around you, and if you move somewhere else, there's a very good chance I'll abandon the party and follow right behind! If you're busy doing something and suddenly hear a familiar set of happy footsteps beside you, don't be surprised when you turn around and find me there! I simply love being wherever my people are. I'm the kind of dog who doesn't want to watch life from the sidelines—I want to experience it right alongside you. With my affectionate nature, social confidence, and genuinely good heart, everyone believes I'm the kind of dog who could be loved wherever I go. Now I'm just waiting for the chance to trade shelter life for a home where I can finally have people of my very own to follow, adore, and share every day with.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I'm an affectionate and outgoing dog who loves being around people. Whether you're someone I already know or we're meeting for the first time, I'll happily come over, lean against you, and enjoy plenty of gentle pets. Once we become close, I may even roll over and show you my belly—a sweet sign that I'm feeling comfortable with you. I'm also comfortable being picked up with support under my belly. I haven't had the opportunity to meet children under 13 yet, so my behavior around young kids is simply unknown. · With Dogs: I'm a friendly and social dog who enjoys meeting other dogs, whether they're familiar friends or brand-new faces. I'll happily approach to say hello and often invite them to play. I'm also naturally peace-loving—if another dog tries to provoke me, I usually prefer to step away and avoid conflict rather than engage. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have high energy level – I really enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular exercise and opportunities to stay active are important for me. Once I've had enough time to burn off my energy, I'm happy to settle down and relax quietly at home. On walks, I can be enthusiastic and may pull on the leash, but I generally follow my person's lead well. With continued practice, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I can keep improving my leash manners and become an even better walking companion.   TRAINING & HABITS I don't show any resource guarding around food with either people or other dogs. I do enjoy being close to my people, and while I don't currently show significant separation anxiety, I may be prone to developing it, so gradually helping me build confidence with alone time will be important. When there's something I really want, I may use a little demand barking to get your attention. I may whine when I'm in a kennel, so continued positive kennel training and a consistent routine will help me become more comfortable settling on my own. I'm comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going potty outside. As a male dog, I may be inclined to mark when I'm introduced to a new environment, so a little extra supervision and guidance while I'm getting familiar with a new home will help me adjust successfully.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together A family that will love and cherish me forever   SPECIAL NOTES I do enjoy being close to my people, and while I don't currently show significant separation anxiety, I may be prone to developing it, so gradually helping me build confidence with alone time will be important. I may be inclined to mark when I'm introduced to a new environment, so a little extra supervision and guidance while I'm getting familiar with a new home will help me adjust successfully.    PUHA'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2814048##

QUICK FACTS Name: Puni Age: About 4 Years Old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Standard Poodle Color: Ivory Weight: 21kg / 46lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an illegal breeding facility in 2024, where I had been living in extremely poor conditions without even basic necessities like electricity. Thankfully, kind rescuers stepped in and gave me the chance to leave that difficult life behind. Since then, I've been learning what it feels like to be safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I'm a big, beautiful Standard Poodle with an even bigger love for people. From the very first day I arrived, I greeted complete strangers as if I'd finally been reunited with my favorite people in the whole world. Honestly, sometimes it seems like my favorite person might simply be whoever I'm meeting at that exact moment! I don't care whether you're a man or a woman—if you're human, there's a very good chance I've already decided we're friends. Once I know you're around, I love following you from place to place, staying close, leaning in for affection, and making myself part of whatever you're doing. I'm an outgoing, enthusiastic boy who thrives on human companionship, and I have plenty of happy energy to share. Despite my size and excitement, I've never shown aggression or inappropriate mouthing toward people. I'm also wonderfully gentle when taking treats, which shows that beneath all that enthusiasm is a very sweet and well-mannered boy. I generally don't pay much attention to other dogs because, quite simply, people are my priority! I can coexist with dog friends without much fuss, although I can get a little jealous when another dog is getting all the attention—I may whine nearby as if to remind you, “Excuse me, I'm right here!” More than anything, I'm an incredibly affectionate, social, and good-natured boy. If you're looking for a smart, energetic companion who will greet you like you've been gone for a year—even if you only stepped out of the room—I might just be your perfect match. Give me a place in your life, and I'll be more than happy to follow you through it.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I'm an affectionate and outgoing dog who loves being around people.
