Meet Ciinnamon Stix 🥹
Gainesville, FL.
Ciinnamon is one of those puppies that just makes you smile the moment you meet him. This handsome boy came to us as part of an accidental litter — his father is a purebred Golden Retriever and his mother is a Goldendoodle.
Their elderly owners simply couldn’t care for that many dogs, so we stepped in to make sure these puppies got the chance they deserve.
Ciinnamon is now thriving in our Raise-n-Train “Rescue Done Right” Program here at Quinn’s K-9 Services. He’s growing more confident by the day and has blossomed into a happy, outgoing puppy. Loud noises and new environments no longer startle him, and he’s learning to take everything in stride.
He is sweet, affectionate, and incredibly social — great with other dogs, cats, and children. He’s the kind of puppy who wants to be involved in everything and will make a wonderful addition to a family that enjoys spending time together.
His coat is a beautiful soft wavy texture, easy to maintain and perfect for families who want lower-maintenance grooming.
Ciinnamon has no behavioral concerns and is progressing wonderfully in his training. He is working on kennel training, potty training, leash manners, and all of his basic commands.
He will go home fully vetted, including:
Veterinary exam
Vaccinations and deworming
Microchip
Flea/tick prevention
USDA health certificate
Letter of temperament and health from our veterinarian and training team
Each of our puppies also goes home with a one-week professional board-and-train credit that can be used anytime in their life, plus lifetime discounted training and boarding through Quinn’s K-9 Services.
We track every dog for life and require that any dog adopted through us be returned to our care if the family can no longer keep them.
Ciinnamon is the full package — kind-hearted, resilient, and ready for his forever family.
If you’d like to be considered for adoption, please fill out our adoption application on our website or message us directly for details.
After everything he’s been through, we can’t wait to see Ciinnamon find the home that will love him for a lifetime.

RESCUE DONE RIGHT™
Professional Rescue. Proven Rehabilitation. Ethical Placement.
Rescue Done Right™ is a structured rescue and professional training program designed to ensure every dog we place is healthy, stable, trained, and fully prepared for lifelong security. We are a professional training organization with over six years of high-level experience.
Our Rescue Done Right™ program formally began almost two years ago and has grown with intention and integrity.
We are a small, self-funded operation, prioritizing quality over quantity so we can invest deeply into each dog’s future.
Comprehensive Veterinary and Health Standards
Every dog and puppy entering our program receives:
* Full veterinary examination
* Required vaccinations
* Deworming and parasite prevention
* Microchip identification
* USDA Health Certificate for legal interstate placement
* Behavioral and temperament evaluation
* Customized nutrition and health support
Working-role prospects such as therapy, service, or sport dogs additionally receive:
* Preliminary hip and joint radiographs
* Orthopedic soundness screening
* Embark genetic analysis as needed
We ensure physical wellness UK and long-term safety before any adoption is finalized.
Professional Training and Real-World Development
Our rescue dogs live in our personal homes. This allows us to truly evaluate and shape their behavior in a realistic environment—not a kennel facility.
We know each dog:
* Through daily handling and interaction
* Through exposure to real home life
* Through structured training in public and at home
Training is age- and situation-dependent; however, most puppies and dogs leave our program with a strong training foundation, including:
* Sit, Down, Place
* Loose leash walking
* Recall foundations
* Crate and potty training
* Calm behavior in public settings
* Confidence and social neutrality
* Exposure to children, dogs, and household pets
Most of our dogs are adopted with this typical training package already included.
Additionally, we professionally develop and place started service dogs for individuals seeking high-potential working candidates. If you are interested in a service-dog-prospect puppy or a dog already started on tasks and public access foundations, we are equipped to help guide that process.
Behavioral Rehabilitation and Complex Case Success
Program director and lead trainer Lilyanna specializes in:
* Aggression rehabilitation
* Fear and reactivity resolution
* Resource guarding behavior modification
* Trauma and neglect recovery
* Hoarding case decompression
* Bite-risk assessment and management
We do not place dogs until they are emotionally and behaviorally stable and the right home has been identified.
We do not take shortcuts.
Responsible Surrender Program
For owners facing unforeseen circumstances, we offer a secure and structured surrender option to protect the dog’s future and prevent unsafe rehoming.
Surrender fees cover:
* Updated veterinary care
* Training, structure, and evaluation
* Preparation for safe placement
* Screening and matching with an appropriate home
Once surrendered into our program, each dog’s future is protected for life.
Nationwide Delivery and Hand-Off Training
We serve families across the United States through:
* Trained ground transportation
* Personal vehicle delivery with in-person hand-off lesson
* In-cabin flight nanny delivery
* Airport pickup service for adopters traveling in
* Local office visits including a training demonstration before departure
Every dog travels safely and transitions with professional support.
Selective Adopter Screening and Precision Matching
We carefully screen every potential adopter based on:
* Stability and safety of the home
* Experience and commitment to continued training
* Lifestyle match and realistic expectations
* Ability to foster the dog’s long-term well-being
We offer free placement consultations to ensure the right match for family companions, therapy prospects, or service-dog prospects alike.
We place proven, screened, family-safe dogs whose behaviors and personalities are well-understood.
Why We Are Different
Many rescues lack the skills and time to fully understand the dogs they place. As a result, families are sometimes given dogs:
* With undisclosed aggression
* With reactivity or anxiety issues
* With unsafe tendencies around children
* Lacking training or manageable behavior
This leads to preventable instability, returns, and heartbreak.
We reject that model entirely.
Our placements are based on:
* Professional training and evaluation
* Full behavioral transparency
* Real-world proof of safety and stability
* Lifetime support for the dog and adopter
Our fees reflect the extensive rehabilitation, training, health care, and lifetime protection each dog receives.
RESCUE DONE RIGHT™
Real rescue.
Real training.
Real responsibility and support for life.
Second chances done right.
