Did you know that the Bullock County Humane Society has royalty residing within it? Two Queens to be exact! Queen has been in the shelter the longest of any other pup, three years to be exact. Queen (2) has been in the shelter for almost two years. Queen is the epitome of royalty. She is sweet and playful. While Queen (2) is a young pup of two and a half years, who is very shy but will warm up to you once she gets to know you. Both ladies are up to date on their vaccines including their one year rabies vaccination. They are both good with other dogs and crave love and attention.
