Meet Queenie — A Sweet, Shy German Shepherd Searching for a Patient, Loving Home

Queenie is a beautiful 4 year-old German Shepherd with a stunning black-and-tan coat. After a rough start in a shelter (she was pregnant and gave birth right before she was surrended to a shelter), she’s still learning how to trust the world, but with patience, consistency, and love, she has blossomed into a calmer (though still anxious), affectionate, and loyal companion. Once Queenie feels safe with you, she bonds deeply and becomes your devoted velcro dog.

Queenie’s Ideal Home

Queenie thrives in a peaceful, low-stress environment with someone who understands that trust takes time. She’s not a dog who warms up overnight, she may need a few months to fully settle, but she’s worth every minute.

Here’s what she’s looking for:

• Queenie needs someone who will give her the time and space to adjust at her own pace. Once she trusts you, she’ll follow you everywhere — from room to room or straight onto the couch for cuddles.
• Her perfect day includes lounging on comfy dog beds, relaxing on the couch, and soaking up the safety of a secure, quiet home.
• She’s crate trained and sees her crate as her sanctuary, especially at night.
• If you have a yard, a fenced yard (6 ft preferred) will give her the comfort and freedom to enjoy the outdoors with confidence and security.
• Queenie does well on walks but she’s unsure around some dogs.
• She’ll thrive as the only pet or with a calm, independent companion who respects her space.
• Her timid nature means she’s best suited for a home with older children who can be gentle and understand boundaries.

What Queenie Needs From You

• Patience — lots of it. Queenie may resource-guard a room or space when meeting new people, especially early on. This is her way of coping with stress, and with gentle guidance and time, it improves significantly.
• Consistency and structure. A calm, steady home will help her gain confidence day by day.
• Willingness to train. She doesn’t know many basic commands yet, so a patient adopter who’s ready to teach her with positive reinforcement will help her continue to build trust and feel secure. Taining with a professional would also be helpful due to her anxious nature.
• A loving heart. If you’re looking for a dog who will eventually bond deeply and stick by your side, Queenie will be your loyal best friend for life.

 Ready to Give Queenie the Second Chance She Deserves?

Queenie may take time to warm up — weeks or even a few months — but once she does, her love is unwavering. If you’re prepared to be patient, move slowly, and let this sweet girl come out of her shell in her own time, Queenie will reward you with devotion, gentleness, and lifelong companionship.
