About Quest

Quest has spent most of her life waiting—she arrived at just three months old and watched seasons roll by from her spot at the shelter. Volunteers adore her, but Quest is ready for something more permanent: a family and her first real Christmas at home. This sweet, loving young girl does well with other dogs and even gets along with cats. She’s learning to walk nicely on a leash and, while still nervous about car rides, she's making real progress. Housebreaking isn't quite perfect yet, but she tries hard. Quest would be happiest with older children and might enjoy a dog playmate. She just wants a place—and people—she can finally claim as her own. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
