Oh — hi! Quinn here.
Small, floofy, and pretty sure I was royalty in a past life. Treat accordingly.
My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.
I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Oakland.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Thanksgiving — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Quinn

About Quinn
This dog is available to meet by appointment only. Quinn is a 10-pound Maltese mix who appears to have had a difficult start in life. He is learning to trust familiar people and now approaches favorite volunteers for attention, puts his paws in their laps, enjoys being petted, and likes being carried. With less familiar people, he may snap when approached or handled, and his responses can be unpredictable. Because he can be unpredictable, Quinn will need a very experienced adopter who understands canine behavior, can recognize and respect his boundaries, and will give him the time and space he needs to build trust at his own pace. Quinn deserves someone willing to look beyond his rough beginnings and champion a little dog who needs extra understanding, patience, and care. Quinn requires regular grooming to maintain his health and comfort and may need sedation for grooming. Adopters should be prepared for the additional time, care, and expense involved. Quinn is available for adoption by appointment only Please submit an adoption questionnaire to meet him.
