Story
EDMONTON, AB - Eva is a sweet and gentle three-year-old poodle who came to SPIN through no fault of her own. She was purchased from a breeder in British Columbia and spent her early years in a loving home, but when her family's circumstances shifted — more demanding work hours, an upcoming move — they came to the difficult realization that they could no longer give Eva the time, attention, and energy she deserves. So they reached out to SPIN, and we, of course, said yes. Since April 2026, she has been living with a wonderful foster family in Alberta who have been showing her all the love and patience she deserves.
