About Cookie

Cookie is around 4 years old and weighs in as a solid, medium-sized shepherd mix with a short, tricolor coat of brown, black, and white. Her style is relaxed and steady, never in a hurry, and she’s got an easygoing temperament that makes her quietly likable right from the start. Cookie came from a rough background—left alone in a backyard after raising several litters—but she’s not interested in drama. Meeting new people and dogs makes her a bit shy at first, but she comes around quickly, especially if the company is as mellow as she is. She’d likely do well with another calm dog or on her own as the sole companion. She doesn’t show destructive habits or chewing issues, and she’s already house trained. Walks are pleasant since she does fine on a leash and doesn’t pull or fuss. Cookie brings the kind of loyalty and low-key affection that makes her a natural best friend, always close but never needy. Cookie was born March 3rd, making her a Pisces—the classic gentle soul. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
