About Quincey

Quincey is a gentle soul, a 2.5-year-old black-and-tan Shepherd x Kelpie mix who often hangs back, quietly hoping for attention. Although not the type to jump right into your lap or shower you with affection, give him some time, patience, and kindness, and you’ll uncover a loyal and sweet-hearted companion. His shy demeanor masks a playful spirit just waiting to shine. In the company of other dogs, Quincey truly comes alive. He shares his kennel with his best friend, Ebony, and their bond brings comfort and joy to both. While it would be wonderful for them to be adopted together, he’s also ready to find a loving home on his own. Quincey is neutered, fully vaccinated, and house trained, looking for a patient family to help him feel secure. His wait hasn’t been due to any fault of his own; it's simply that he hasn’t yet found someone to recognize his potential. It’s time for him to experience the love of a true family. Located in Wantagh, NY, with nationwide transport available to approved adopters. Ready to take a chance on Quincey? Apply to adopt him today.
