Quincy

“Hello everyone! My name is Quincy. After my owner passed away, someone promised to take care of me. But they didn’t. They chained me to a tree and left me rot for what seemed like an eternity. Fortunately, I was rescued from that living hell, but I came to MVPC in really bad shape. I was emaciated, had no fur, and was riddled with skin, ear, and respiratory infections, and was heart-worm positive to boot. After months of treatment, I’m finally putting that nightmare behind me, and I now remember what it feels like to be loved thanks to my friends at MVPC. My body will always carry scars and reminders of that terrible time in my life, and my stamina isn’t as good as I would like, but I have a huge heart, and an amazing ability to see the best in people! I love everyone I meet, young or old. I'm very interested in other dogs, but due to my previous health issues, am just getting started on socialization training, and will need to be closely supervised around other dogs until I learn how to play properly. I haven't met any cats, so I'm not really sure about them yet. I enjoy car rides and walks but am also happy to crash in your lap for snuggles and pets. Belly rubs are my personal favorite, and a must if you want to adopt me. I like chew toys on occasion and will shred a stuffed animal in record time. But I really just want cuddle time with my human. Having been nearly starved to death, I am highly food motivated, but I am working really hard to be gentle when taking treats. I am housebroken, do good in my crate and am really good on a leash. I enjoy short walks in the park or around the neighborhood. If you are looking for a happy, loyal friend who will shower you with doggy kisses, please check me out. I want nothing more than my very own family to love and call my own.” ADOPTION FEE: $300 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes!

INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25.
