About Cookie

Cookie is a smart and loving dog, happiest when she's with her people and sharing affection. She's quick to give kisses and always up for a greeting. Cookie balances her joyfully energetic nature with the ability to settle in the house—she's just as happy dozing off as she is exploring the outdoors. Cookie already knows several commands like "sit," "wait," "leave it," and "paw." She thrives on daily long walks, always eager to be out for hikes or running in secure spaces, getting her zoomies out and recharging her happy batteries. Her ideal family leads an active, outdoor life and can give her plenty to do. Cookie is fully housetrained and handles time alone well; she relaxes in her crate or dog bed when she needs her own space. She's social with most dogs outside, especially northern breeds, and playtime with canine friends helps her confidence. In the home, Cookie is a bit selective about dog companions and can sometimes guard her people, so an adopter who understands dog body language and boundaries will help her continue to flourish. Cookie's strong prey drive means no cats or small animals for her. She may do best as a solo dog, or with a self-assured, playful dog who matches her energy level. Wrap up her friendly, energetic personality with her need for thoughtful socialization, and you have a dog who brings joy to an active home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
