About Quest

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Quest is a handsome and powerful mix of boxer and Doberman who recently arrived at the shelter after spending his whole life in a loving home. At 4 years old, Quest’s family was forced to surrender him due to rental restrictions, despite their deep love for him. He has been fully vetted and microchipped, ready to find his next forever home. Quest previously lived peacefully with a canine sibling, as they grew up together, but currently he would thrive as the only dog in his new environment. He is not suited for a home with small animals and is looking for a household with adults or teens—adopters must be at least 21 years old. For those with resident dogs, it’s important that your pets are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered. Adoptions are by private appointment once an application is completed and approved. Quest is ready for the next chapter of his life and is hoping to find a dedicated adopter who can give him the stability and care he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
