About Cookie

Cookie spent most of her life unsocialized, arriving in foster care scared and unsure of the outside world. In just six months, she's blossomed, now deeply bonded to people and happiest nestled close—her foster mom often finds her curled up for a long nap, head tucked in for comfort. Cookie is calm and respectful at home, not destructive when left alone, and fully house trained. She charms her people with gentle persistence—expect polite requests for belly rubs and perhaps a sly attempt to share your snack. Training-wise, Cookie knows a host of cues—sit, down, stay, come, off, crate—and thrives on food rewards. She's made big strides with a professional trainer, learning to navigate the city and pass people or dogs at a comfortable distance, but busy streets still make her uneasy, especially when commotion is close by. If she gets startled, a treat or some distraction helps her regroup. She’s muzzle trained and safe for walks, though a quiet neighborhood or yard would suit her best. Cookie's not looking for other animals—she wants to be your one-and-only, as she doesn’t get along with dogs or cats. She gives back all the affection and emotional intuition she receives. Despite her quirks, Cookie is loyal, attentive, and low maintenance, happy with short walks, enrichment toys, and the steady love of someone patient. Her rescue covers four weeks of professional training to aid the transition. Cookie is ready for a true home, not just another temporary stop. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
