Queenie♀

About

Meet Queenie aka Bee Queenie was born around May 9 and is a 2lb small breed, suspect chi or dachshund mix. Queenie is pint size but has a big girl personality! She is fearless and loves other dogs and great with cats. In her foster home, she has been with both big and small dogs. She loves to wrestle and bite her foster dog friends in their ankles to get them to chase. She loves chasing her balls and anything crinkly. She is very friendly and smart - learning touch and sit! She is great with potty pads and sleeps quietly at night after a little complaining. She loves to go in yard to play with her leash since she is so tiny. A fence even with small animal fencing won’t yet be safe for Queenie so she will need yard supervision and a leash since she is also quick on her feet. Queenie likes to grumble when playing and might be chatty as she gets older. She would love another dog to play with in her forever home. Would do best with smaller breed experience. She does still bite and nibble which is age appropriate so does need toys/treats and redirection. Queenie loves to be held when she isn’t running, wrestling, playing fetch. She also loves curl up in her donut bed to observe the room and nap with her friends. Like every Queen she is selective with her food and the color of her water bowls and prefers a variety of wet food and white bowls only. She also likes her treats to be broken up small. Queenie needs to be supervised and continue her crate training since she still doesn’t understand appropriate chewing. Her perfect family would have time home to snuggle and play, another dog to chase or wrestle with and an understanding of small breeds/puppies. Queenie will also need puppy school in a few weeks to keep her on the right course for learning and socializing.
