Q

Meet Q! He's about 4 years old, 20 pounds, and the kind of dog who notices everything but doesn't always know what to make of it yet.<br/><br/>Q came to us because his family had to move and couldn't take him along. The change really shook him up, and when he first arrived he kept to himself, watched everything carefully, and tried to figure out where he was and what was expected of him. Loud or busy spaces are still a lot for him, and he does best when things are calm and predictable.<br/><br/>But there's something really special about Q. Once he starts to feel safe you can actually see him relax a little more each day. He's been making steady progress with staff and volunteers who take the time to go slow with him, and he responds beautifully to patience!<br/><br/>In his previous home, he did well with other dogs after a proper introduction. He also lived with cats and got along great with them! His previous owner told us he loves cats! With kids he was gentle and had a protective, watchful kind of presence. He seems to really enjoy being part of a home and family and that is where he will thrive.<br/><br/>Q probably isn't going to be the dog who runs up to you right away. He's the one who hangs back, studies you for a bit, and then decides to be your best friend. And when he does decide that, he means it!<br/><br/>What he needs most is simple: A calm home. A patient person. A place where he can finally stop bracing for change and just settle in.<br/><br/>Once Q trusts you, he doesn't really let go of that. He becomes your little shadow, your steady companion, your "I'm here" kind of dog. Interested in giving Q the home he's dreaming of? Please inquire today!
