Pet of the Week: Quinn
Quinn is a 5 month old retriever mix looking for her fur-ever home!
Hi, I'm Quinn, a 5 month old retriever mix with the energy of a triple espresso and the grace of a parkour champion! I came to Helping Paws with my 3 siblings after being rescued by Animal Rescue Corps in Tennessee (shoutout to the volunteers who helped us!) I'm what you might call an "enthusiastic athlete", I do karate chops on my friends, run zoomie laps so fast no one can catch me (seriously, I leave a breeze behind), and pool dives? Chef's kiss. I almost made it to the puppy Olympics, but they said I was too extra. Rude. Also, we must talk about my ears. When I was just a little fluff nugget, they were all floppy and adorable. Now? they're gigantic and stand straight up like a satellite dish picking up signals from space. I think I can hear your thoughts (yes, I do want a treat, thank you.) I was adopted once, and I thought I found my forever home, but then my new mom suddenly got "allergic" probably to how ridiculously cute I am. So, now I'm back and ready to meet my REAL forever family, the kind that loves belly rubs, fetch (yes, I mostly bring it back), and spontaneous snuggle attacks. I'm super social, walk great on a leash, and am learning my commands like a good girl (unless there's a squirrel...then all bets are off). I could jump the gate to my kennel but I'm a respectful rebel. So if you're looking for a silly, bouncy, pool-splashing, fetch-slaying, karate-kicking girl with ninja level energy and a heart full of love I'm your Quinn!
