About Quiche Lorraine

Start your journey together! Apply now. Meet Quiche Lorraine, a vibrant and affectionate Labrador/Pitbull/Boxer mix who is truly passionate about life! Quiche Lorraine is a lovable, spayed female searching for a stable and peaceful home where her affectionate and playful spirit can flourish. She weighs approximately 65-70 pounds and enjoys being close to her people, often acting as a 65-pound lap dog who loves to lounge and snuggle. Her natural curiosity makes her eager to be involved in everything you do, earning her the nickname “Nosey Rosie.” Quiche Lorraine is food-motivated and smart, responding well to positive reinforcement and treats. She knows basic commands like “Sit” and “Down” and works hard to master new skills, especially when a tasty snack is involved. Some of her favorite things are snuggling, snack time (celery, carrots, peanut butter, bananas, and dog cookies!), and toys that squeak or crunch. Though full of love and joy, she does have a few sensitivities: she gets anxious when left alone, does not tolerate crates (they make her panic), and is startled by sudden movements or people approaching from behind. She also finds busy environments overwhelming and is looking for a home that is calm and predictable, with adults or older children (12+), and ideally in a quieter setting. Her social development with other dogs is ongoing; she is making progress and may do well with the right playful, friendly canine companion. She currently shares her space with a cat and has shown she can coexist peacefully, especially if the cat is confident and dog-savvy. With new people, Quiche Lorraine can be a little nervous but warms up quickly when approached calmly and with patience. She is best suited for adopters who can offer stability, kindness, and experience in helping her build confidence. Quiche Lorraine is in great health, with occasional sensitive skin that improves with appropriate care. Her journey so far has shown her resilience and immense capacity for love. With the right home and a loving, patient adopter, she will reward you with endless snuggles, loyalty, and unconditional affection. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
