Parson Russell Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Say hello to the adorable Quinn, affectionately known as “Q-tip”! He is an awesome little puppy who would do well in any home. An ideal home would offer a mix of relaxed downtime with plenty of couch time and cuddling, and some regular opportunities for play, including games of fetch and a favourite chew toy. As a puppy, he is still learning manners and would benefit from continued training, routine, and gentle guidance. He learns and warms up quickly. They do well on their own or with others. Quinn is a joy to be around and is sure to bring a lot of love and snuggles to his future family!
