My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Thank you for your interest in Maverick. Some dogs are born unlucky. In a barn. With little to no access to humans. Certainly without love in their lives. Most are born to Moms who are terrified of humans since all the humans ever do to them is shave them and give them shots. The environment is not clean. So how Maverick can be so loving and sweet is a true testament to his character. Maverick was sold at auction to the highest bidder. The seller didn't care where he ended up and only cared about the money. That is the harsh fact of commercial dog breeding.

Thankfully Maverick landed with a lovely owner and so, a few days after the auction, very late at night, Maverick arrived. The owner quickly realised that they were not equipped to give Maverick what he needed and they called to ask if we could help. How could we say no? And that's how Maverick came to us and we're so glad he did.

You see, shortly after coming into our care Maverick popped his shoulder out of the socket. It wasn't a big accident that caused this to happen, it was just more bad luck. Off to the vet we went and there we were able to reassure Maverick that really, it wasn't so bad, because he was going to get the best care possible. His leg and shoulder were wrapped so he couldn't use that leg and it could heal. Several weeks later the wrap came off and the vet put hobbles on him. This would allow his good shoulder and leg to help the weaker side. Soon the hobble will come off and Maverick should be good as new!

Through it all, Maverick has been the best boy!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Each adoptive family will complete an application, come out to meet the available dog(s) and then email us after the meeting to let us know their intentions to pursue the adoption. We will do a home visit, check their references and then decide on the best home for each dog. Once a home is chosen, the family will sign our adoption contract and pay the $450 adoption fee prior to taking their new family member home with them!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in loving foster homes so you must have an appointment to meet them.

More about this rescue

SPIN strives to educate and raise public awareness about how to be responsible for and share your life with a companion animal. We talk about the importance of spay/neuter programs, the deplorable conditions found in puppy mills and advocate for change. We are most proud, however, of our work in engaging like-minded people together by providing a forum to discuss how to care for and celebrate the poodle breed, but also to come together when necessary to help poodles in need.
