My personality

My story

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

Queenie’s story is one that still baffles us. She was found abandoned in a rural area — and sitting on a rock nearby was a brand-new leash and harness. We couldn’t help but wonder: who would abandon her, yet take the time to leave her something new?
When Queenie first arrived, she was terrified of human touch. It seemed she had little, if any, prior handling. But someone clearly knew her and cared enough to leave her those items. It took weeks of patient socialization before she allowed us to gently pet her. Today, after time and trust-building, Queenie has blossomed into a confident, affectionate, and utterly endearing dog.
Queenie is a 3-year-old, 40-pound Heeler mix, and let us tell you — BALL. IS. LIFE. She absolutely adores playing fetch and would happily chase her ball all day if she could!
She’s done beautifully with other dogs after proper introductions and enjoys playing with her canine friends. Queenie continues to be socialized around cats; she’s not aggressive but seems unsure, so a home without cats would be ideal. She currently lives with two young children and does well, though we recommend older, respectful children due to her initially shy nature.
Queenie has the quirkiest, most lovable habits! She loves to chase her tail — determined as ever to finally catch it — and she’s a master at hiding her food. Yes, you read that right! She’ll tuck her bowl away in creative hiding spots as if playing hide-and-seek. Thankfully, this behavior has improved greatly as she’s learned food will always be there for her. She’s also kennel-trained and will happily settle when it’s time to rest.
True to her breed, Queenie has the loyal, intelligent, and energetic spirit of a Heeler. She’s deeply affectionate with her person and forms strong bonds with those she trusts. She can be cautious around men, so she’ll need a patient introduction with males.
Queenie’s ideal home would be a rural setting where she can stretch her legs and play ball daily. Experience with Heeler or herding breeds is preferred. Continued socialization is key for Queenie.
She is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on vaccines. A fenced yard and homeownership are preferred. (Please note: this rescue does not adopt to homes with unaltered domestic pets.)
Queenie is personality-plus — loyal, smart, and full of heart. Once you get to know her, you’ll truly fall in love.
