About Cootie
Cootie is a lively, playful, and sweet girl with a real zest for rolling in the grass and playing tug-o-war. She carries herself with a gentle spirit but still displays a streak of silliness. Cootie absolutely loves her daily zoomies and settles in for cuddles or massive kiss sessions when the energy winds down. New situations can rattle her—she might seem wary or nervous at first, especially around strangers or new environments. Give her a toy and a little patience, though, and she’ll warm up fast, becoming a loyal and affectionate friend. Cootie prefers to have her humans and her space to herself and favors being the only dog at home. She can be selective with other dogs and should have careful, one-on-one introductions in controlled settings if she’s to have a canine buddy. Dog parks and intense, chaotic environments aren’t her style. She is reactive to cats and small animals, so a pet-free household beyond perhaps a similarly sized helper dog is best. In foster care, Cootie has shown she is trainable, learning new cues and making clear improvements on leash. She’s quite relaxed as a houseguest: no barking, no destructive habits, good manners indoors, and she tolerates being left alone for long stretches. With steady encouragement and calm outings to low-distraction places, Cootie will melt into a devoted companion in a stable, reassuring home. Give her a chance, and she’ll reward you with goofy antics and loyalty that runs deep. Click apply to start the adoption process.
