At just 10-months-old, Queen was left to fend for herself after her owner decided they could no longer keep her.
No leash. No note. No goodbye. Just a baby, left alone to wonder what she did wrong.
Queen is now safe in a local shelter, but she’s still just a pup—gentle, smart, and eager to belong. She ran right up to our impound reps with tail wags and trust, despite everything. She takes treats softly, knows sit and shake, and had a wonderful dog test—social, friendly, and playful with that “puppy bounce.”
She’ll need some help with potty training, but she’s already showing she’s a quick learner who just wants to be loved.
Queen doesn’t belong in a kennel. She belongs in a home—with someone who sees her worth and won’t give up on her.
By fostering her, you’re not just changing her life—you’re opening space in the shelter for another pet in crisis. That’s the power of #LocalLove.
Can’t foster? Right now, your monetary support goes twice as far thanks to a $10,000 matching gift. Our May goal is to rescue 57 local animals like Queen—can you help us get there?
