She is currently on the shelter's euthanasia list and today is the last day, listed due to behavior. Adopting Queen Hera, or even sharing her story, could save a life before it's too late.

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Queen Hera is on the at-risk list due to behavior concerns. In the care center, Queen Hera has shown significant kennel stress, including jumping and slamming her body against the kennel while vocalizing, heavy panting, dilated pupils, excessive salivation, chewing and licking the kennel lock, and consistently chewing her bed. She has also been reported to growl at other dogs in the hallway. Outside of her kennel, Queen Hera is social with handlers, seeks petting, engages well in training, and is generally easy to leash and return to kennel. Medically, Queen Hera has dental disease and dermatitis. What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. I would do best in a home with only adult humans. I need a home where there are no other dogs. I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. A volunteer writes: When you look past her dirty coat, the fly bites on her ears and the scabs throughout her body you'll see one of the sweetest girls currently in the shelter. Queen Hera may need some TLC, but she will return it all with the affection she exudes. I imagine Queen Hera is the type of dog who will celebrate all your wins with you, happily make moves wherever you go and be your biggest cheerleader. But more importantly, she is the type of dog that will be there for your less cheery moments, the kind that may cause you to cry into her fur and hold her tight and somehow she'll know just how to make you feel better. She's managed to already do that for us, a girl who knows what to do no matter the situation. And she is so deserving of someone who will return that to her! Queen Hera was found tied to a pole with another dog (King Zeus #262263 ) by police and were brought to the shelter. Queen Hera was noted to be friendly, but Zeus was very fearful. Due to her initial fearfulness when entering the shelter and some handling sensitivity, she is available to a Level 3 (experienced) home.
