I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:7This 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, so he needs a patient adopter who will respect his boundaries and let him build trust at his own pace. Quinn requires regular grooming to maintain his health and comfort and may need sedation for grooming. Adopters should be prepared for the extra time, care, and expense involved. Quinn deserves someone willing to look beyond his rough beginnings and champion a little dog who needs extra understanding and care. Please submit an adoption questionnaire to meet him.
