About Oreo Cookie

Oreo Cookie is a pint-sized Shih Tzu who’s made for laps and lazy afternoons. Her first instinct is to glue herself to your side no matter what you’re doing. She’d happily follow you from the kitchen to the couch—or simply rest nearby as you go about your day. She’s house trained, walks politely on a leash, eats with no fuss, and has figured out how to sleep through the night in her kennel (though she’d vote for bed privileges if you allow it). Cookie’s energy level fits most homes: she’s playful in short bursts, but content to nap and relax for hours. A secure yard is a plus since she enjoys stretching her legs and chasing after the occasional squirrel, but she’s just as satisfied curled up in the sun. She shares space well with her foster’s dog and could suit a multi-dog household—or she’d bask in the one-on-one attention as an only dog. Cookie seems happiest when her person is close. She can tolerate a few hours alone, but really wants to be involved in everything; her social streak shines when you include her. She hasn’t met cats or kids during her foster stay. At six years old, Cookie brings the sweetness, loyalty, and low-key spirit of a mature Shih Tzu. If you want a constant companion with a gentle soul and a deep cuddling instinct, Oreo Cookie is ready to fill that spot. Capricorn dogs like Cookie are known for being steady and devoted, which fits her perfectly. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
