Goofy 14-year-old shelter dog needs a new home for her twilight years. ‘Gentle soul’

Discovered tied up outside an animal shelter, a senior dog named Quinn has now waited more than a year to find a new home.

And at 14 years old, time is running out.

“No senior dog should spend their golden years in a shelter,” the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said in a July 23 Facebook post.

The animal shelter said Quinn had “clearly been through a lot” when she was found tied up outside SPCA’s Philadelphia headquarters in June 2023. Her ears and skin were in “horrible condition,” the group said.

Described as a “goofball,” Quinn was cared for by a medical team, who helped “her feel better.” She is now the oldest dog at the shelter.

“As a senior pup, Quinn has earned the right to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life,” the shelter said on its website. “She’s a gentle soul who loves people and is always happy to see her humans. Quinn is a foodie at heart and will do just about anything for a treat.”

Quinn is a terrier/pit bull mix and is open to meeting families with other dogs or children, the SPCA said.

“She doesn’t deserve to spend nights in the kennel,” the organization said. “She should be comfy on someone’s couch, snoozing away.”
