Quismat is a handsome 10-year-old (DOB 12-19-15) Afghan Hound that was picked up wandering alone in a state park. He is microchipped but unfortunately it was discovered that his owner/breeder passed away in 2017 and it will remain a mystery on how he landed in Illinois from central Missouri all these years later. He seems to do well with older dogs of similar energy level and does well riding in a car and going into a crate if asked. Quismat recently had his spa day and did very well for his bath and grooming! He is a gentle old soul with good pep in his step.  We would love to find him an experienced Sighthound adopter where he can live out the remainder of his golden years.  Please note his current foster is well versed in Sighthounds rescuing an Afghan Hound in 1988 and personally owning and showing other Sighthound breeds since the early mid 90s and 2000s.
