About Cookie

Meet Cookie! Cookie is a sweet male with a classic hound-dog face that masks a fun, laid-back personality. His somber looks disappear the moment he spots his favorite people, and it's not long before he flashes a goofy smile—especially when out on a walk, nose to the ground with that deep hound focus. Outside, curiosity takes over and everything gets a thorough sniff inspection. Indoors, he's calm and respectful: this big guy doesn't jump on people and keeps his kennel tidy. He leaves toys and blankets untouched, too. Cookie does well with children and other dogs. His temperament with cats is unknown, but his relaxed attitude suggests he could adapt well. He walks easily on leash and responds to redirection. He's working on obedience and will offer a sit or paw for a meaty treat, though he's still perfecting his routine. He's the kind of dog who takes things in stride and is easy to have around. He deserves a home that will appreciate his gentle spirit and goofy grin. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
