Quincy

My story

Hi, my name is Quincy. I am a three year old Border Terrier who is a red grizzle. I live with my mom and five other dogs here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We have a big family and lots of people coming and going. I adore my mom but I am stressed out with having chaos around me all the time. Although it breaks her heart, she wants to find me a forever home where I can get lots of attention and relax into a peaceful environment. One other quiet, friendly dog would be fine or I can be an only child. I have been through obedience and rally training and good manners classes. In fact, I have an AKC Canine Good Citizen Advanced title. But at home, especially when someone is coming in, I lose my marbles and bark like a crazy dog. It doesn't last long and I quickly settle down. I bark at doorbells and when mom comes home. She ignores me and that helps me settle. The rest of the time, I am a chill fellow who likes to snooze, wrestle with my brother who is a Boston Terrier, and patrol the back yard. I like other dogs but would prefer a quiet playmate. I am housebroken, UTD on vax, been health checked so I am ready to travel. I have been health checked, and my veterinarian says I am ready to rock. He thought I might have a problem with my heart but the Cardiologist specialist says my heart is just fine. I have been neutered- whatever that is. I look like a little brown bear now and have always been hand stripped but I am fine with clipping as well. I also like the shaggy dog look. I LOVE going to dog classes and learning stuff. I do well in obedience and rally but am pretty unimpressed by the rats at Barn Hunt. Scent work would be awesome to try. I'd really love to do anything with my main human. We go to the farmer’s market and to the winery and I especially like going out to lunch. I get LOTS of attention and pets. Camping is awesome in my book! I like to be close by my human when I am not at training. I don’t have separation anxiety but prefer to have a human home much of the time. I’d be sad to be alone for 9 hours a day. My mom adores me back and will want the best new family for me. She thinks I can reduce my displaced anxiety if life is calmer with a new, small family. Just having a calm, quiet home should be enough. Do I sound like the boy for your home and lap? I like to cuddle in the evenings when mom is reading or watching TV. So I am looking for a lap of my own. I do share nicely with no problem. Call my Mom (she won't let my have my own phone) 505-379-2900 or email cn101spotz@gmail.com
