Notes: Quill, 2 years old, 55 lbs, nose-on-legs with a heart of gold. Quill has mastered the balance of being a zoomie champion one minute and a chill cuddle bug the next. He is basically like having both a personal trainer and a weighted blanket rolled into one adorable package. Quill’s favorite hobby is sniffing every single blade of grass on your walk - twice. He will happily pull you along so you do not miss the “important smells.” Long walks are his jam, and he takes his job as “Neighborhood Smell Inspector” very seriously. He does prefer to be the star of the show a.k.a. the only dog in the home. If you are looking for a goofy, lovable, smell-enthusiast who will keep you laughing and your Fitbit happy, Quill is your guy.
