Quiggley

Quiggley, a 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel with a gentle spirit, a curious nose, and a heart that's deeply devoted to his people. Quiggley is happiest when he's near you—whether he's curled up on the couch, relaxing in a soft chair, or quietly following you from room to room. He keeps a close, loving eye on his humans and forms a strong, loyal bond. He's affectionate, mild-mannered, and has a constant little tail wag that perfectly matches his happy, easygoing personality. This sweet boy has a serious love for sniffing—his nose is always working! He would likely thrive with activities like scent work or enrichment games that let him explore the world through smell. He also enjoys the simple joys in life like walks, car rides, and watching (or tracking!) birds—he definitely has a bit of an instinctual interest there. Quiggley gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys their company, often following their lead and learning from them. That said, he doesn't need another dog in the home as long as his people are around often—he truly just wants to be with his humans. He's also a big fan of treats (not picky at all!) and is starting to discover how fun toys can be. He enjoys chasing tennis balls and carrying around small, soft toys in his mouth. Quiggley is crate trained and actually loves his crate—it's one of his favorite places to relax and sleep at night. However, he does not do well being left for long periods and can become stressed if crated for more than a couple of hours, so he's looking for a home where someone is around most of the time. He is mostly house trained, with occasional accidents and some marking that has already improved significantly and continues to get better as he settles in. A consistent routine will help him continue to succeed. Quiggley does very well with adults and is friendly and social when meeting new people (especially if treats are involved!). However, children tend to make him uncomfortable. He becomes alarmed and will bark, so he would do best in an adult-only home or one without young children. He's also been wonderful for grooming and bathing, even with the extra care his skin has needed—he's a total champ for spa days. Quiggley is a delightful, loving companion who brings a calm, happy presence to a home. With his loyalty, gentle nature, and adorable little quirks, he's the kind of dog who will quietly become your shadow and will make a wonderful companion. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter's expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
