About Quiche Lorraine

Quiche Lorraine is a 3-year-old Labrador/Pit Bull/Boxer mix who approaches the world with a huge heart and an even bigger appetite for affection. She’s 65-70 pounds of snuggly, head-leaning energy, happiest when she’s tucked up next to someone she trusts—preferably in their lap. Curiosity drives her day; she shadows her people, pokes her nose everywhere, and thrives on being part of the action. Food motivates her, and with treats and patience, she’s picked up commands like "Sit," "Down," and "Touch." She’s playful—loves anything that squeaks, crunches, or requires chewing—and has a soft spot for healthy snacks like carrots and peanut butter. Quiche Lorraine’s history includes a rough start with some home changes, but her resilience shows. She’s nervous around new people and is vocal about her feelings, but she’s never aggressive, just needs time and a gentle approach. She prefers stable, calm homes—busy, bustling places and unpredictable environments stress her out. Sudden movements or being startled by people (especially from behind) make her anxious, so she’s best with kids 12 and older who appreciate her need for calm. She lives with a cat now and does fine, and with the right introduction and a dog-savvy feline, cohabitation is possible. She’s open to canine companions but will need slow, careful introductions, as she can be anxious with unfamiliar dogs. Group play at her boarding kennel has shown promise, so a confident, playful dog in her future home might actually help her blossom. Crates are a no-go—she panics and can hurt herself trying to escape, so she needs a home where crating isn’t required. Separation is hard for her; she sometimes has accidents if left alone, but she doesn’t destroy the house and has made big strides with daily medicine for anxiety, which she’ll need to continue for a while. She’s house trained, spayed, current on vaccines, and has a short black and white coat. Those with experience, patience, and a willingness to keep up her routine will find her a loyal, silly, deeply loving sidekick. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
