Story
🎀 Quinn 🎀
This sweet red Goldendoodle was surrendered to us by a breeder after spending the first half of her life in an outdoor kennel. At first, she was absolutely terrified—she had no idea how to walk on a leash and had likely never lived in a home before. Since then, she has blossomed into a happy, affectionate girl with a whole lot of personality 💕
Have you ever had a dog who smiles? 😄 If you say “Quinnniiieeee!!!” really obnoxiously, she will wiggle and smile at you with her teeth 😂 It’s very affectionate and she does it when she’s excited to see her foster mom or when she doesn’t want to come inside, lol.
At home, Quinn is playful, loving, calm, and very well behaved. She LOVES chasing the other dogs in the yard and is happiest when she’s with her pack. You’ll usually find her sleeping glued to another dog, but if you get up in the middle of the night, you’ll hear her tail beating as she hopes you’ll come love on her 🩷
She may even greet you at your side of the bed with a kiss. Once Quinn bonds with you, she bonds deeply—she will follow her person from room to room and just wants to be near the human she trusts. She absolutely adores her foster mama.
While Quinn is wonderful at home, she is still very scared out in the world. She is extremely shy at first and slow to trust new people and new environments. She is submissive, gentle, and wouldn’t hurt a fly—but new situations can be overwhelming for her. In public, Quinn can be “flighty,” so she wears an escape-proof harness as she will try to back out if frightened. Sometimes will actively try to get away when trying to take her somewhere, so her adopter needs to be savvy with keeping dogs safe and able to lift 50lbs.
Because Quinn is very settled into her foster home, she will need a very patient, understanding adopter who is willing to meet with her a few times prior to adoption to help build trust and allow her to adjust at her own pace. She’s not a dog who can just be adopted on the first visit.
Quinn also has a manageable medical need. She eats Royal Canin Low Fat Gastrointestinal food, takes generic Pepcid twice daily, and receives daily probiotics (purina fortiflora). She experiences acid reflux related to some tracheal irritation that occurred during intubation for her spay surgery. She has been fully evaluated at the UF Small Animal Hospital in Gainesville, and no further treatment is needed—her condition is well managed with her current routine.
MUST HAVES: Quinn must have another dog that will play with her, a fenced yard, and a calm, adult-only home (no kids). She would love to join a pack, but one compatible canine best friend could be just fine if she clicks. If you have 2+ dogs, even better! She is a very sensitive girl and will absolutely let us know where she feels safe and happy 🙂
*This is a very transparent bio, but we don't mean for it to sound scary. She's an awesome, playful, easy dog to care for at home, but is a dog who would escape if the right tools aren’t used.
Quinn is about 50 lbs and 5.5 years old. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She is located in Odessa (Tampa area), and her adoption fee is $300.
