This beautiful 5-6 year-old OES, Quinn, was welcomed home on Oct. 17, 2025. Quinn’s family found her on a rescue website about three months after losing their sweet boy, Fitzgerald. Their hearts were still heavy, but something about her just pulled them in. She was incredibly underweight, dealing with multiple infections, and had severely rotted teeth. They never learned what led her to be abandoned at the shelter, but it was clear she hadn’t been given the care or love she deserved. (And my goodness how that’s changed now.) Her furever family applied right away, interviewed, and drove to Austin to bring her home. From the moment she joined their family, they knew she was meant to be theirs.

Quinn has come such a long way since that day, and they’re so grateful she found her way to them. Quinn is spunky, sleepy and sweet and loves a good nap, her little (BIG) brother and having her hair in bows. (We cannot handle this!) However, she’d much rather not have to deal with the times she has to be away from her people.

Quinn is very routine-driven and every morning starts with a 2-mile walk, followed by breakfast, then getting her pigtails done for the day. After that, it’s pretty much nonstop wrestling with her big brother, Ballard. She’ll go all day like that until she crashes at night—usually on top of the pillows, as close to your head as she can get. (Sounds like the perfect day if you ask us!)

When Quinn came to her family, she was severely underweight and dealing with multiple long-standing infections. Since then, she’s gained a healthy amount of weight, had her bad teeth removed, and is now completely infection-free. She’s full of life, happy every single day, and easily the best part of the family. After losing Fitzgerald, their family was in a really dark place and they truly believe he sent Quinn to them. She came into their lives exactly when they needed her most and has brought so much light back into their home. She’s given Ballard a best friend and brought a kind of joy they didn’t think they’d feel again. She’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and just wants to make you happy. Quinn feels like a gift from Fitzgerald—and they’re so grateful she found her way to them. (And we couldn’t be happier for the human and furry members of this family to have a love story just like this!)
