Story

Some dogs are born into loving homes and then are adored for the rest of their lives. Others are not. And this happened to SPIN’s beautiful Salem. Salem wasn’t perfect. Goodness knows he wasn’t perfect. He pulled on leash and chased the cats and he was bouncy and playful and a little mouthy and he growled at his owner when they tried to punish him. For four years this was his life. Four years of being a disappointment because he was, you know, a standard poodle. Many people desire a perfect dog, or perhaps a warm, stuffed animal—cuddly, soft, quiet, perfect. They often believe this is how dogs naturally are, not considering their energy, intelligence, playfulness, and fears. When these traits emerge, people blame the dog, and resentment settles in. We loved him right away. Everyone who met him liked him immediately! What a smart, cuddly pup! Of course, we are all poodle people and all we could say to him was, "Welcome to SPIN, buddy!" To help him overcome his general level of anxiety that was built up over the 4 years he was in a stressful home, SPIN put him on Fluoxetine. And man, has this helped. You will see below in the description from his foster that he is still a little jumpy around loud noised and new things – he still doesn’t love having his ears and neck touched or pulled. I think we can understand why. Ah, Salem, we will find you a home where you can feel safe, warm and loved.

CLARINGTON, ON - Thank you for your interest in Pickles, a precious, playful poodle with a personality that’s positively perfect! Despite her rough beginnings as a puppy mill pup abandoned at a young age, Pickles has proven herself to be a resilient, sweet, and friendly companion.

Abby

Doberman Pinscher

Female, 7 yrs 1 mo

Colborne, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Abby! Typical to her lineage, this beautiful girl is full of energy, and is at her best when she has lots of opportunities to use her brain and move her body. She is currently in a boarding facility and enjoys the company of other dogs, but we feel she might do best as solo dog as she does show signs of possessiveness of her people, and might be happiest not having to share the attention. While she has no issues with the kennel kitty at her current residence, Abby was returned from an adoptive placement as she would give chase the cats in the home. While we feel this may have been due to a need for more stimulation, it may be most ideal to find Abby a pet-free home.Abby does have a few quirks, that we feel only make her more endearing! She has a very toothy bark, which can appear intimidating, but don`t let that fool you. Her kindness shows through in her eyes, and she has demonstrated zero signs of aggressive behaviour. She also has a tendency to hover protectively over her food, toys and treats, but has not had any negative reactions to anyone nearby. However, this may be something she needs to work on over time until she understands that her people or other animals are not a threat to the items she values.Abby would benefit greatly from attending obedience classes to strengthen her leash skills and basic manners. She does pull on a traditional leash, but we have found a halti to be an effective way of controlling this. Generally as her excitement and curiosity wanes during her walks, she settles nicely. She is fully house trained, and is fine in the car.Due to her energy level, Abby would benefit from having a fully fenced yard where she can supplement her walks with yard play to keep her in balance. As a very smart girl, she would love challenging games and activities that make her use her brain.If you would like to be considered for Abby, please visit our web site at www.K9C.ca to complete our online application. Only those will be reviewed by our placement team. Please note, our dogs are placed on a `best fit` basis and not first come first served. Due to the high volume of apps we receive, only those deemed to be a potential match will be contacted.

Pal

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Shih Tzu

Male, 1 yr 10 mos

Colborne, ON

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Meet Pal! This young dog is looking for a quiet home with an active lifestyle. His ideal match would be an active single person who is not away from home for extended periods of time.Pal loves human companionship, but it does take him some time to trust and warm up to any kind of physical touch. Loud noises also tend to stress him out, and this is why a quiet environment but active lifestyle is ideal for Pal. He would also benefit greatly from having a social dog in his home who can match his playful energy, but also help him to build confidence and feel safe.If you are looking for a walking companion, look no further than Pal! He loves adventures and will have his nose to the ground the entire time! Any walk that allows him the opportunity to dip his toe beans in water are his favourite! A rural home in a quiet neighbourhood would be the best fit for this little guy, as he is a little nervous and reactive around busy traffic. Walks are a very integral part of Pal`s needs to stay in balance and as a high energy/anxiety dog, Pal is currently on Trazadone and Fluoxetine twice a day to help him regulate his emotions and reactivity. These are supports that Pal will need for life, in combination with lots of activity to be at his best and to feel his best as well.A fully fenced yard is an absolute must for Pal. Invisible or agricultural (hedges) will not be suitable for him.Pal is exceptionally clean and well-mannered in the home. He has no destructive behaviours, and is fully crate trained. Pal enjoys sharing toys while at play with another dog, but he has shown guarding tendencies with humans, so this will be something that has to be carefully monitored.We would not recommend Pal for a home with cats as he does like to chase and bark a them. We also feel that a kid-free environment is a must for Pal, and if his forever home has visitors, he should be crated as he could quickly become overwhelmed with a lot of noise and unusual activity.Pal is currently eating a wet food diet, and he enjoys liver treats as well. The true way to Pal`s heart is to allow him a lot of time and space to feel safe before expecting too much from him. While he does love to be loved, it seems like he may have experienced some trauma and is very unsure of new people. His adopter will need to understand that he will need time and patience to feel safe and build his confidence before he will show his softer side.As a hypoall

Story

Patch came to our care as an owner surrender when his family moved West. He's a protective boy over his family and will bark at new people, but give him just a couple of mins and he's a friend for LIFE! He's an active boy who settles in very well, he is both crate trained and house trained. He may knock young children over given his size but he's a GENTLE and KIND "giant" Patch had extremely bad ears upon his arrival, he's been to the vet for his neuter and cleaned at that time. He has just a couple more days of antibiotics and ear drops. We had an allergy test done and it appears the cause of his ears being full of guck and infection was the food, He now eats a diet of grain free kibble and he's healing up very well! He's a handsome fellow with a wonderful temperament.
