Quentavia

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Poplar Bluff, MO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Quentavia is 5 years old and has had a gastropexy. Although mostly house trained, she may occasionally pee when overly excited or after drinking a lot of water. She has had water bloat from drinking too much so water intake needs to be monitored. She knows sit, down (English) and platz (German), stay and can high five / shake. She has had very minimal IGP exposure. She is very energetic and enthusiastic and can be mouthy and jumpy. Her excitement can overwhelm some people and although dog friendly, her rough, intense play style can be too much for many dogs. For this same reason she is not good with cats. Friendly with kids if her energy is properly managed, but due to her size and enthusiasm, older kids would be best. She loves tug, fetch, and squeaky toys. She is registered and I have her pedigree. She has some show dogs and working dogs further back and could potentially do either with training. She could also just be a hiking buddy.

Story

Meet Finley, also known as Finny. A gentle soul with the biggest heart and an even bigger love for cuddles!Finny is the kind of dog who quickly becomes your best friend. His favorite thing in the world is snuggling up on a warm couch or bed with his people, soaking up all the love and comfort he can get. After everything he’s been through, he truly deserves it. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will happily snuggle the day away, Finny is your guy.Finny is a low-energy fella but loves going out for short daily walks. He loves food, is house trained, and is getting comfortable in his crate. Sometimes he’ll cry for the first few minutes when settling in.Finny currently lives with a small senior dog and they get along very well. Although Finn is mostly low energy, he may prefer having a slightly bigger dog friend to play with. Finn’s had slow introductions to cats and has done well, he mostly ignores them and gives them space. After such a hard life, Finny is ready for the happy ending he deserves, a forever home full of warmth, patience, and never ending cuddles. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and professional snuggler, Finny may be the perfect addition to your family. Finley is living in a foster home. If you would like to meet him please email foster@kcpetproject.org.
