Quinn's second chance

Since he's gotten back from the SPCA, we've learned a few things.

He's people focused and moderately submissive.

He CAN relax outside a crate, he just needs a comfy bed =)

He CAN be on the furniture without making trouble or being possessive.

He's a good napping buddy.

He plays hard.

He will chew, but not much.

We did another food test (well, another staff member did while I wasn't around) and he did fine. He didn't want to back away, but he did. If she had kept messing with him while he was eating, he may have gotten grumpy, but with moderate attention and poking, he did fine and was just super food focused. The advice given was that the new family should let him get comfortable and secure before bothering him while eating. He trusts us, and he'll let us mess with him, take his food, play in his bowl while he eats and put our hands in his bowl. It just takes time.

He had a meet and greet with a 60 lb spayed rottweiler and it went great. So larger dogs are okay. The real test will be male dogs. We do have a larger, neutered male next door, and Quinn saw him tied in the yard and didn't run over to eat him. Seemed interested, but not overly so and came when called (he was off leash in our yard). He's a good boy, he just needs some consistency and training.

It's been almost two weeks since his return, and he's only peed in the house once. It was totally random, and I think he just has a smaller bladder than his sister. It's my job to remember to take him out. He's very good about going and coming back, and I'm so glad he can be trusted off leash.

He's been a bit mouthy during play, but it's another thing where he doesn't do it with me so it's hard to work on. I've been telling everyone to correct him, even though he's very gentle and it's kind of cute.

I really hope someone sees all his potential! Email me!
