Quinn is a lovable little ball of energy. She loves to go on walks and play tug but is also a big couch potato. She loves napping in the sun all day and cuddling between your legs at night.
She also has a super sniffer and loves to explore every inch of the world with it.
Quinn loves to be the center of attention and would be happiest as the only pet.
She's had quite a bit of training but can get overstimulated so patience and consistency with continuing training will go a long way.
Quinn has so much love to give and will be a perfect companion to the right family.

Cost of Pet Care
Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
My mortgage increased out of nowhere and my older dog got tongue cancer, had to have major surgery, and they don't know if the cancer will come back. The older dog is also starting to show signs of getting ornery with Quinn. I've tried so hard to make it work but, as much as it breaks my heart, Quinn deserves to be in a home that can be 100% dedicated to her/her needs and I can't give her that.
