Bogart

My story

TILLSONBURG, ON - Bogart is a small Standard Poodle, about 7-8 years old, who is just beginning to discover what it means to be a dog. Before coming into SPIN’s care, Bogart lived in a commercial breeding facility. His world was a barn and a stall, and his purpose was to produce puppies. He didn't grow up in a home, go for walks, meet people at the door, ride in a car, curl up on a couch or learn all the ordinary things that make up a dog's life. So when Bogart arrived in foster care, he had a lot of catching up to do. He is still timid. A sudden movement or unfamiliar noise can startle him, and new people can be overwhelming, but he has been learning. Underneath that cautious exterior is a very sweet boy who is curious, gentle and trying hard to figure out this big, new world. His foster mom says that sometimes he is braver than others. We think that's an important part of Bogart's story. Progress isn't always a straight line. Some days he takes a big step forward, and other days he needs a little more reassurance. That's okay. Bogart has spent his whole life knowing very little about the world. Now he gets the chance to learn what life can be.
