You all know what a huge animal lover I am! I also avidly support North East Animal Sanctuary. Michelle Jesson is an incredible human and runs a no kill shelter with an enormous amount of kindness and compassion.
For those that don’t know, Zeus and Venus and Yolly’s little man Marz all came from Michelle’s rescue.
Well today I’d like to introduce you to a special soul, a darling Greyhound named Quinn who seems to have not quite found his humans!
You see Quinn is still waiting — and he deserves to be seen 🐾
Imagine walking into a room full of people, tail wagging, heart wide open — ready to give everything you have — and being passed over. Again. And again. It kind of sounds like how many of us feel at a 21st 😂😂
Every day he waits patiently, watching others find their forever homes, never understanding why no one has chosen him yet. He doesn’t know he’s being overlooked. He just knows he loves people — deeply, completely, and with every inch of his giant, gentle soul.
According to Michelle, his Quinn is one of the most affectionate, warm-hearted boys you’ll ever meet. He lives for human company, thrives on cuddles, and will be your shadow in the very best way. He’s housetrained, walks beautifully on a lead, and has the kind of gentle nature that just melts your heart.
He has mastered the morning zoomies (an absolute delight to witness), gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and has recently discovered the pure joy of play — so a home with another greyhound or larger dog would make him one very happy boy.
That said, he’s equally content as the sole dog, as long as his humans are around to keep him company. Please Note: Quinn isn’t suited to homes with cats or small animals.
On sunny days you’ll find him stretched out on the grass, soaking up every ray like the sun-worshipping king he is!
Come evening, he’s an indoor boy — cosy, calm and settled. And car rides? Quinn lives for them. Head out the window, ears back, not missing a single thing the world has to offer. Road trip co-pilot? Absolutely sorted 😂
While we’re on the subject of Greyhounds, I thought it was a great opportunity to share why they may be the most underrated Dogs on the Planet!
If you’ve never loved a greyhound, you’re missing something truly special. These magnificent dogs are:
• Gentle giants — calm, quiet and incredibly affectionate; they bond deeply with their humans
• Surprisingly lazy — despite their speed, greyhounds are champion couch surfers who love nothing more than a warm spot to nap
• Low maintenance — their short coats require minimal grooming and they’re naturally clean dogs
• Sensitive souls — they read your emotions with an almost uncanny ability and offer comfort without being asked
• Great in smaller spaces — because they sleep so much, they adapt well to all kinds of homes
• Loyal to their core — once a greyhound chooses you, they choose you completely
They don’t ask for much. A warm bed, a good walk, and someone to lean against. In return, they give you a love so quiet and steady it changes you.
🏥 A small note on Quinn’s health: Quinn has very mild focal epilepsy, well-managed with inexpensive daily medication that he takes without any fuss at all. Since starting treatment, he’s had zero incidents.
It’s a tiny detail in the story of a dog who is otherwise absolutely thriving. It may also be the single thing holding someone back. Imagine that though? How many of us have ailments and where would we be if our friends and families forgot us?
Quinn isn’t just looking for a home. He’s looking for his people — the ones who will finally see him, choose him, and wonder how they ever lived without him.
Could that be you?
Please do your best to share our post and let’s see if we can help this gorgeous boy find his furever family! For all information please make contact with North East Animal Sanctuary and please consider a donation to this very worthwhile cause. Quinn’s link is in the comments 🥰🐾
