My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I`m Queenie, a beautiful girl who would love to come home with you. I love treats and stuffy toys. I am timid with most people at first but give me patience and unconditional love and I will give you all the butt wiggles.I am working on basic training and I have come so far already with my leash etiquette. I was not used to being inside a home but thanks to my short-term foster family, I now love being inside most of all. I am still nervous about roaming the house but became more confident every day I was there. I am a young dog, so I still get into mischief ?? and I would love a family that will continue to train me. I am a people pleaser who loves to learn.I came in with another female, my sister, so I will likely do okay with slow introductions. However, I tend to play a bit rough with other dogs, so a medium-big dog might be best for me. I would do great in a house with lots of love, patience, and understanding.

**Personality**
Queenie is a gentle soul who needs a little extra TLC. She’s a bit unsure about people and prefers to take her time getting comfortable. While she has some nervous tendencies, she’s eager to learn and grow with the right guidance. With a firm but gentle hand, she will thrive and learn to trust. As she builds her confidence and trust she will let her true colors shine as a rambunctious playful girl, who wants to be loved.

**Training Needs**
Queenie will benefit from ongoing training to build her confidence and teach her leash etiquette. Being excited about the world around her, Queenie would do best with an adopter who has experience leading a lively dog and providing basic training.

Queenie loves to play and she is learning how to play with people. This silly girl likes to chase after a toy when thrown but does not always bring it back. With patience, she’ll discover the joy of playing with her new family.

Queenie would be a great dog with whom to share adventures. She is not used to the car yet, but new experiences and exercise will help build her confidence and ease her anxiety.

**Other Pets**
Queenie prefers to be the queen of her castle! She does not get along with cats or small dogs, but she might do well with large, well-mannered dogs who can help her feel more secure. A slow introduction to other pets is essential to her adjustment.

**Ideal Home**
Queenie is looking for a family who can focus their love and attention on her. A calm environment with a st
