This handsome little pup is Quinn, a 1-year-old, 23-pound Beagle mix.

Quinn is lucky to be alive after he and his friend Avery braved below-freezing temperatures, seeking warmth in the inner stuffing of a discarded mattress for at least 2 weeks. Rescued by a Good Samaritan, Quinn is now safe and warm with Argos.

Despite his rough start, Quinn’s sweet and gentle nature shines through. He’s playful, friendly, and eager to bond with his forever family. He loves other dogs and is always eager to greet a new friend whether that be human or canine.
