UPDATE: Queenie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
She was a fighter, but in the end, letting her go was the kindest gift we could give her.
We are so grateful to her forever foster family, who showed her that humans were still worth trusting and loving. Queenie knew what it meant to be cherished, and she returned that love tenfold. She will be deeply missed by everyone whose life she touched.
Oso (Bear) has lost his lifelong companion, and her family has lost a dear member of their family. Please keep them in your thoughts as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.
Run free, sweet Queenie. You were loved beyond measure. ❤️🐾

Please keep our senior alumni Queenie, formerly Nikki, in your thoughts and prayers. She is currently at the vet after suddenly becoming unable to get up and walk. When she does try to stand, she collapses. Our biggest concern right now is whether she is in pain. Queenie is now 13.5 years old.
Queenie and her brother came to the rescue in 2023 at 10 years old after being abandoned by a family no longer willing to care for them. Thankfully, our wonderful forever foster family stepped in immediately and has loved and cared for them ever since. A forever foster home is one that essentially adopts the dog, while the rescue continues to help cover medical expenses for the rest of the dog’s life.
Queenie has been deeply loved through every chapter of her life, since she came to the rescue and we are hoping for comfort, answers, and peace for this sweet senior girl.
If you would like to help with Queenie’s vet expenses, please consider making a donation in whatever way works best for you. We will also make this post a fundraiser, or you can find other donation options on our website at https://nmsiberianrescue.com
Every contribution and prayer means so much to Queenie and her foster family.
