Here's what the humans have to say about me:
QUINCY WOULD LIKE TO BE AN ONLY CHILD
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.
I have been through obedience and rally training and good manners classes. In fact, I have an AKC Canine Good Citizen title. But at home, especially when someone is coming in, I lose my marbles and bark like a crazy dog. Sometimes I even snap at the dog next to me, and he is my friend. I have had a bark reduction surgery which has made my bark much less shrill and annoying but I still bark at doorbells and mom coming in. She ignores me and that helps me but I go after the other dogs and bully them. Just in high energy times. It's called displaced anxiety. The rest of the time, I am a chill fellow who likes to snooze, wrestle with the Boston, and patrol the back yard.
I am housebroken, UTD on vax, been health checked so I am ready to travel. I look like a little brown bear now but am fine being hand stripped ( I always have been so far) but fine with clipping as well.
I LOVE going to dog classes and learning stuff. I do well in obedience and rally but am pretty unimpressed by the rats at BarnHunt. Scent work would be awesome to try. I'd really love to do anything with my main human. I like to be close by my human when I am not at training.
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. I may benefit from being on medication (trazadone and prozac) at some point but 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.
Call my Mom (she won't let my have my own phone) 505-379-2900 or email cn101spotz@gmail.com

We require an application, home visit and follow-up visit. Any of our rescues who need re-homing after placement are accepted back into our rescue.
There is an adoption fee of $200-$300 depending upon age, health, purebred or not, etc. to help defray the costs for the dog's medical expenses. Our dogs are spayed/neutered and microchipped. They have been Heart worm tested. They have the necessary vaccinations. They are also housebroken and come with some good manners training.

Myths: Dalmatians are hyper.
Truth: Young Dals can be full of mischief and can be amazingly active. So have a plan for rigorous exercise for your nine to 24 month old puppy. It can be I in your back yard as you throw the tennis ball a thousand times to tire them.Play dates with friendly and safe dogs is great ( no dog park. Young dogs are often picked on). When you are gone from home, they are safest being crated or in an Exercise pen. They are NOT backyard dogs. Between 12 months and two years they settle down down quite a bit, still needing exercise but more moderate routine. Dals need a routine exercise plan and we don't place very young Dals with folks who are gone all day unless another playful dog is around to channel the young Dal's energy.
Myth: Dalmatians aren't good with kids.
Truth: Dallys usually love kids and can be a great part of the family. Young Dals can be too boisterous and bouncy around tiny toddlers and knock them down. But they are very easy to train. Lyn was raised with a Dal and learned to walk by using Dutchess as a mobile walker. Lyn's children were raised with Dallys underfoot.
Myth: Dalmatians don't like other dogs. - or cats...well, ask the seven dallies at my house how they feel about their canine siblings. They love to have playmates and cuddlebuddies. They often do best in a home with another active, people oriented dog. To live with cats, they need an introduction and to be taught good manners (no chasing) right from the start. It helps if the cat is calm and unlikely to dash about at first. My cats and dogs snuggle together.

More about this rescue
We have been in rescue since 1997. Lyn teaches Obedience and plays Agility, Rally, and Nosework, competing with her Dalmatians in Performance sports as well as doing rescue.
We have had more than 600 Dalmatians come through our rescue, usually spending 2-4months in our home. Our Dallys are inside, couch dogs and, while crate trained, spend most of their hours in the house sunning, snoozing, and playing.
We primarily rescue Dalmatians and Dalmatian wanna- be
(Black and white dogs of undetermined breeds) from our Animal Control and other kill shelters around New Mexico, El Paso, and occasionally from individuals.
