Meet Cookie Cookie is a 6-year-old Border Collie mix who came to us as a stray. Although we were able to contact her microchip owner, they never came to reclaim her, and now she's ready to find a loving new home. Cookie has previously lived with cats, which may be helpful information for adopters with feline companions in the home. Staff have observed that Cookie is a sweet, well-mannered girl once she's out of her kennel environment. She allows handling nicely and is well behaved on walks, making her a pleasant companion to spend time with. In the kennel, Cookie can be reactive and vocal, often barking at activity around her. She has also shown some food bowl guarding behaviors in her kennel, so her future family should be prepared to provide structure and thoughtful management around feeding times. Despite the stress of shelter life, Cookie continues to show a gentle and affectionate side with people she trusts. She would likely thrive in a calm, stable home where she can decompress and feel secure. If you're looking for a smart, loyal companion and can provide patience and understanding as she settles in, Cookie could be your perfect match.
