My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Salutations, my name is Quinby and I am 57 pounds of awesome. I was a stray at MADACC (Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission) and hopped aboard a transport heading to WCHS. I have had a chance to look around a bit and meet some of the folks in this neck of the woods and I am sure I made the right decision; I am going to love it in Washington County. I am a cheerful guy who thoroughly loves going on walks with humans; although I must confess, I am not perfect on a leash. I try to walk politely but cannot help myself and pull a bit when I see something interesting that I want to get to. I also have a tendency to crisscross a bit in front of you when we are walking along. I make a point of completely enjoying my time outside with you and absorb all the fabulous smells; I stop to munch on the tasty dewy grass too. I am friendly, playful and active; some even call me hyper. To help burn some energy it would be lovely if you could give me a job or two. Perhaps we can practice obedience or rally, participate in canine sports like agility or learn fun skills like nose work. I am very smart and already know the cues for ‘sit', ‘down' and ‘shake/paw'; although sometimes mistake ‘sit' for ‘jump up on the nice human and say hi' when there is a treat on the line - I just get so excited. I am an affectionate lad; a lover boy at heart. I love to spend time with people and it is phenomenal when I am getting tender scratches and cuddles. It would be lovely to snuggle with you on the couch at the end of the day after exercise and playtime. I promise to be loyal to you forever and work very hard to make you proud. Stop by to meet me in person; I am sure to impress you.
