About Cookie

Cookie is a loving and sweet rat terrier who's more of a couch potato than her energetic sister, Cream. She arrived at the rescue along with her sibling after their owner had to surrender them due to illness. Cookie adores people and is great with children and other dogs, although she hasn’t had much experience with cats. Being a rat terrier, she has a knack for chasing squirrels and other small critters, so she’ll thrive in a home with a secure yard and some space to romp around. Since Cookie hasn’t been let outdoors often lately, she might need a refresher on her outdoor potty habits, but her house training will make this easier. She's currently being fostered in Chino Valley, and she's all set for a new life. If you think you might be the right match for Cookie, go ahead and apply today!
