About Queen

Meet Queen, a sassy and charming sidekick who’s equal parts snuggly, goofy, and adventurous. Queen thrives on human company—she’ll follow you around the house or hop in the car as your loyal co-pilot, always calm and happy for any adventure. Car rides? She’s a pro. Whether at home or on a long hike (like her recent 7-mile trek at Eno River State Park), Queen faces it all with confidence and that big-hearted Boxer mix charisma. Crowds or tricky trails don’t faze her, and she carries herself with both grace and an unmistakable spark. Queen is potty trained, knows her way around a crate (though expects a prompt release if she voices her opinion), and walks well on leash—just expect a bit of eager pulling when excitement gets the best of her. At home she’s all about her toys, bones, and treats, keeping herself busy and content. Queen gets along with calm senior dogs and is respectful with kids, though she appreciates peace during meals and when she’s working on a bone. She does have some minor mobility quirks, likely from a leg or hip issue, but doesn’t let them slow her down. She’s careful on stairs, prefers flat ground, and always stays within reach in the yard. Loyal, spunky, and affectionate, Queen just wants a spot by your side and plenty of love. Click apply to start the adoption process.
