Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 9-month-old Quest.

Here is Baypath’s description of Quest:

“Don’t let his short legs fool you … Quest is always ready for an adventure! At just over 30 pounds, this unique, little cattle dog mix has a long body, an even bigger personality and enough enthusiasm to keep up with any outing.

“Quest loves hiking, exploring new places, learning new tricks and staying active. He’s an intelligent, busy boy who thrives when he has something to do and will do best with a family that enjoys getting outside and keeping both his mind and body engaged.

“He also loves the company of other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playful canine companion to romp around with. His goofy antics, endless curiosity and affectionate nature make him a fun sidekick wherever the day takes you.

“If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure buddy with plenty of personality packed into a compact package, Quest is ready to meet you!”
