Standard Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Courtice, Ontario

KINGSTON, ON - Zeus came to SPIN because his previous family didn’t have the time or experience to keep up with a young, intelligent Standard Poodle. With too little structure or exercise, he began to make his own fun — sneaking socks, finding treasures, and creating his own games. What he really needed was time, activity, and direction. In our care Zeus showed what a lovely dog he truly was. Confident, social, and affectionate without being over the top. He enjoyed meeting new people and dogs, played beautifully with his canine friends, and read other dogs’ signals well. His youthful energy and calm easy going side quickly made him popular and he found a lovely, adoptive home. He moved in and quickly made himself the center of the family's life and heart and then...tragedy struck and the family made the call to SPIN that no family wants to make. It was a reminder that we are all just one phone call away from turning our lives upside down.

But SPIN is also a family and we immediately let the family know what we wanted to help and if that meant having Zeus come back to us, we would welcome him with open arms. His original foster family cried with his adoptive family and then welcomed Zeus back. Now we're ready to help him on his next adventure. So, let us tell you a little about Zeus.
