About Cookie

Cookie came from a tough spot—she was pulled from a shelter where kennel stress was taking a toll on her. At that point, anxiety had her spinning and jumping, sometimes even hurting herself. Fast forward to now: Cookie has truly bounced back and shed all that stress. She’s a stunning, young lab/husky mix, about two and a half, and eager for a change of scenery. If you’re in Connecticut, she’s hoping someone will open their home to her as a long-term foster or adopt. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, house trained, and knows her basic commands. Cookie gets along with dogs, cats, and children over seven. She’s energized and will do best with an active family who can keep up—fenced yard preferred. She’s social, affectionate, and hoping to be home for the New Year. Ready to give her a fresh start? Cookie is in New Milford, CT. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
