Queenie
AvailableQueenie is a large, adult female pit mix currently in Shorewood, IL. She’s about 6 years and 1 month old, spayed, and vaccinated. Queenie is best suited for an adult-only home where she can be the only animal, as she doesn’t get along with cats or dogs. Her diet is fish-based due to allergies, and she takes Apoquel daily for comfort.
About Queenie
Queenie is a 4-year-old, 70-pound pit mix with the heart and spirit of a gentle giant. She’s brimming with energy and lives to play, often completely unaware of her own size—expect her to clamber into your lap or nuzzle up close whenever she can. A wagging tail and bright eyes always greet you, and it’s clear Queenie’s happiest when she’s close to people she trusts. This girl has been waiting far too long, spending more than two and a half years in the shelter, loved deeply by staff but passed over time and again by adopters. They know she’s a treasure, and hope her new family will see it too. At first, Queenie may seem a bit wary, but her silly side shines once she warms up. She loves durable toys—especially big rope pulls—and a hard chew bone keeps her occupied. Outdoor time is a highlight, where she runs with abandon or enjoys long walks with her favorite people. Queenie needs a home where she'll be the only pet, and she’s best matched with adults or older kids. Due to allergies, she thrives on a fish-based diet and takes Apoquel daily to keep her comfortable. Ready to give Queenie the soft landing she’s been waiting for? Make their next chapter their best one yet.
