Quincey - Shepherd and Australian Kelpie Dog for Adoption in Wantagh, New York

Some dogs run to the front of their kennel, desperate for attention. Others hang back, quietly hoping someone will notice them.

Quincey is one of those dogs. And sadly, the quiet ones are often the ones who wait the longest.

At just 2.5 years old, this handsome black-and-tan Shepherd x Kelpie mix has already spent far too much of his life in a shelter.

Quincey isn't the dog who will immediately jump into your lap or shower you with kisses. He's a little shy at first, still learning that new people can be trusted. But give him a little time, patience, and kindness, and you'll discover the sweetest, most loyal boy underneath.

And if you want to know what Quincey is really like, just watch him with other dogs.

Quincey LOVES other dogs!
They bring out his confidence, his happiness, and the playful side that strangers don't always get to see.

He currently shares his kennel with his best friend, Ebony. The two have found comfort and companionship in each other while waiting for someone to finally choose them. We'd love to see them find a home together, but they can absolutely be adopted separately.

A little more about Quincey:
- 2.5-year-old Kelpie mix
- Gentle, sweet, and a little shy initially
- Absolutely loves other dogs
- Neutered and fully vaccinated
- Heartworm negative
- Would thrive with a patient, loving family

The heartbreaking part? Quincey isn't waiting because there's something wrong with him. He's waiting because he hasn't found someone willing to give the quiet dog a chance.

Quincey has spent enough nights in a kennel.

It's time he learned what it feels like to be someone's dog. Someone's family. Someone's whole world.
