Quinn is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community. ย In February, 2023, Quinn took the next step in her journey and entered Advanced Training where sheโ€™ll learn the skills needed to support her future partner.

It truly takes a village to raise a puppy, and you can be part of Quinnโ€™s village and receive monthly updates about her โ€” donations raised through this page support the care and training of healthy, happy puppies. Help support Quinn today.

Quinn is named after Canada’s two-time Olympic medalist in soccer.ย  Quinn is the first out, openly transgender and non-binary athlete to compete at the Olympics, the first to medal and the first to earn a gold medal.
