Yes, 12+! Hi! My name is Quiche Lorraine, and I LOVE LIFE!!! History: I was adopted from a local SPCA in early May 2025. All that is known is that I showed up as stray, was adopted by a family who had several other dogs, and then was surrendered back to SPCA with no reason given.

I am very grateful. It turns out that their life situation isn’t going to be a fit for me long-term, but they are committed to…
