About Cookie
Cookie is a charming 4-year-old Chihuahua weighing in at 8 lbs. with a stunning merle coat and a heart to match. She’s nearly house-trained (about 90% there) and excels in her crate, proving to be a quiet companion who loves snuggles. While Cookie enjoys the company of other dogs and will occasionally play, her ideal home has to be a calm one where she gets plenty of love and cuddling. She gets along well with older, respectful kids, but hasn’t been tested with cats yet—she’s open to the possibility! A fenced yard is a must for Cookie since she prefers not to walk on a leash; she enjoys her puppy stroller rides instead. She’s low to medium energy, mostly cherishing her downtime on your lap. Due to her special needs—an enlarged heart and heart murmur—she requires lifelong medications (around $70-$80 monthly) and should sleep close to her human. Cookie is seriously the sweetest little lap dog who deserves a forever home that can commit to her ongoing healthcare. If you’re ready for a gentle, cuddly companion, Cookie is waiting to meet you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
