QUEENIE - ROTTWEILER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Rottweiler / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Hi, I’m Queenie! I’m a big, lovable girl who would make a wonderful match for a somewhat active family. I love going for walks and exploring the world, but I’m just as happy spending the day chilling with my people and soaking up all the belly rubs I can get (which is a lot—fair warning). Because of my size, I’d do best in a home with older kids—I’m gentle, but sometimes I forget how big I am and might accidentally knock someone over when I plop down next to them for cuddles. I walk nicely on a leash, I’m very food-motivated, and I already know how to sit, lay down, come when called, and take treats gently. I’ve done well on my dog test and did great with a foster puppy. I can be a little bossy with another female dog, though, so that’s something to keep in mind. Cuddling is kind of my thing. I’ll happily snuggle with you all day, sometimes flopping right next to you without realizing how much space I take up. I don’t really care about toys, but I do care deeply about walks and belly rubs—especially belly rubs. I’ll lay on my back, smiling with my tongue hanging out, living my absolute best life. My typical day starts early around 5am when I get up with my foster mom to go outside, then it’s breakfast followed by chill time (and trying to sneak in more belly rubs). I usually go on a 30–45 minute walk before noon, then it’s nap time… more naps… some afternoon training or mental stimulation… and yes, even more naps. I love welcoming the kids home from school, eat dinner around 6pm, and spend the evening lounging and stealing affection whenever possible. I’m not kennel trained and honestly prefer sleeping in the bedroom or living room. My favorite parts of the day are belly rubs and walk time. My least favorite part is being kenneled when my family has to leave briefly—I’d much rather stay out with my people. If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly, walk-loving girl with a heart full of love and a belly always ready for rubs, I might just be your Queen. Queenie is from a local reservation.
