About Queen

Meet Queen. She’s a 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier and a true connoisseur of quiet comfort. Queen prefers gentle company and a soft lap to the chaos of the world. She’s happiest tucked alongside her bonded brother, King, or soaking up the sun by the front door. While King handles the introductions, Queen maintains a serene calm, walking politely on leash and leaning into affection with composure. Recently, Queen underwent a full dental extraction. She’ll need to stay on a soft food diet and will require regular follow-up for a pair of chest nodules. Despite these challenges, Queen’s nature remains gentle and trusting. Her foster says she’s a reserved soul with endless sweetness. Queen and King are inseparable and must be adopted together. This pair move through life as a quiet, loyal team, finding security in each other's presence. Queen isn’t seeking excitement; she’s hoping for a home where love, security, and gentle companionship come first. She gets along with other dogs, but it’s her bond with King that matters most.
