About Quiggle
Quiggle is a bright, inquisitive boy with a strong personality and a curious spirit. He’s affectionate, alert, and thrives when he’s included in daily life. Quiggle loves learning about the world around him and finds joy in the simple things—sniffing a new path, relaxing with his people, or sharing quiet time at home.
He’s still working on his confidence in new or busy environments and may need some support as he transitions into a new routine. With patience, consistency, and a kind approach, Quiggle is a dog who will truly blossom.
Where I grew up
Quiggle was raised in a quiet, single-storey home with a mature-aged woman and another Seeing Eye Dog. His early life was calm and consistent, helping him develop great house manners and a gentle, observant nature. He also attended his carer's workplace—including kindergartens, conference rooms, and local council offices—where he was calm, relaxed, and well-mannered when tethered.
A good fit for me is...
Quiggle will do best in a home that offers stability and a gentle routine. He’s not suited to busy, high-traffic environments, as he can be sensitive to noise, unexpected movement, or unfamiliar people and dogs. A calm, understanding adopter with experience or interest in building confidence through positive reinforcement would be ideal.
A few things to note:
- Best in a quieter home with older kids or adults
- Would enjoy a friendly dog companion, as he has lived and socialised well with other dogs
- Needs access to safe, calm walking areas while he builds his confidence
- A secure space is important—he will seek out food if given the chance and has a soft spot for chewing bedding
- Someone willing to support him through transitional stress behaviours, which may include barking at noises or people
My personality traits
- Curious and alert — loves observing the world
- Calm and settled when comfortable and in familiar environments
- Joyful and affectionate — bonds strongly with his people
- Eager walker — pulls on the lead at times due to excitement and scent distractions, but improves with handler support
- Body-sensitive — may need slow, gentle desensitisation to wearing equipment like harnesses or coats
- Cheeky opportunist — will bench-surf and chew soft items like his bed if left unsupervised
