About Quinn

Meet Quinn! Her story is one of resilience, healing, and unconditional love. She was discovered abandoned alongside her sister, in tragic condition. Severely neglected, she was covered in painful mats and suffered from extensive hair loss and untreated eye issues. Since being rescued, Quinn has received the veterinary care she desperately needed. We've learned that she has severe chronic dry eye, a common issue for her breed, leading to significant scarring on both corneas. Thankfully, her right eye is responding well to treatment, allowing for the possibility of preserved vision with lifelong care. Her left eye has faced some hurdles, including a corneal ulcer and infection, but after antibiotics and ongoing attention, she is showing great improvement. Despite her past, Quinn is one of the sweetest dogs you could ever hope to meet. Calm, gentle, and affectionate, she loves curling up in your lap. She does not bark excessively and gets along well with other dogs. Her easygoing personality makes her a joy to have around. Quinn is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on heartworm prevention and flea control. While we have not tested her with cats or children, she has proven to be a wonderful companion. Quinn is in Pipe Creek, TX, and can be transported to other states for an additional fee.
