About Quincy

Meet Quincy, your future gentle giant! At 2 years old and weighing around 70 lbs, he’s a Labrador Retriever and Pointer mix with a heart full of hope. Quincy has had a challenging path, spending time in multiple shelters before arriving at his foster home. The world can feel intimidating for him, filled with new sounds, smells, and people. It's essential he finds a family ready to offer him patience, kindness, and the security he desperately needs. Even with his fears, Quincy is showing remarkable progress. Just three days into foster care, he began wagging his tail at the sight of a cat, which might have brought him some comfort. He has started playing with toys and even cuddles with his foster mom on the couch. Quincy is learning to trust and adjust, becoming more confident every day. His potty training is going well, and he enjoys his crate as a safe space. While Quincy is still a bit scared of walks outside, he thrives with gentle encouragement and the reassurance of a loving family that will help him explore the world at his own pace. He will need a patient and understanding home, one that celebrates his little victories and supports him as he learns that new experiences can be good. Imagine the joy when he finally rests his head next to you, knowing he’s found his person. Quincy is ready for a loving family to help him write his happily-ever-after.
