Cookie is a 2-year-old Labradoodle with the gentlest heart and the sweetest spirit you could ever meet. She was found abandoned in Fresno, and at first it was feared that her back legs were broken. After veterinary evaluation and X-rays, it was determined that her legs are actually deformed from severe neglect early in life-likely from being confined to a crate for long periods as a puppy. Despite everything she's been through, Cookie is incredibly loving, trusting, and kind. She walks with a unique gait, but the good news is that it's not causing her any pain. She's learning what it means to be safe, cared for, and part of a loving environment-and she's soaking it all in. Cookie is dog-friendly, gentle, and has a calm, affectionate nature that makes her truly special. She just wants to be close to her people, offering quiet companionship and unconditional love. She does need to gain some weight and continue building strength, but her spirit is already so strong. This girl is the definition of resilience. She's looking for someone who can be her hero-someone who will give her the love and stability she's always deserved. In return, Cookie will give you her whole heart. Cookie will make the most devoted, loving family companion.
