About Quincey

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Quincey is 3 years old and weighs 58 lbs. He is looking for a quiet home with minimal visitors, ideally with a single woman, since he absolutely adores women and is most comfortable around them. While he will warm up to men, he forms strong bonds with women and is very protective of his person or people. When strangers come into the home, Quincey needs to be crated to help him feel safe and secure. Despite his initial wariness, he is truly a loyal, gentle, and easygoing companion—sweet, calm, and ready for a loving family. He’s a handsome black Lab mix with a short coat, who enjoys lounging on the couch or stretching out at your feet and is equally content soaking up the sunshine in the yard. Quincey is wonderful with kids and other dogs, and he’s both affectionate and cuddly. He’s happiest when he gets to act like the perfect “lap dog in a big dog body.” Fun fact: born on November 7, Quincey is a loyal and determined Scorpio, always devoted to his chosen people.
