About Cookie

Cookie is a gentle, sweet little mixed-breed girl, approximately 2.5 years old and weighing around 15 lbs. She came to her foster home pregnant and heartworm positive, but she's now healthy and ready for her forever home. Cookie is house-trained and accustomed to using a doggy door. She's typically shy when meeting new people but reveals her adorable personality once she feels at ease. Having recently cared for her five puppies, all of whom have found loving homes, it's now Cookie’s turn to be cherished. She enjoys treats, loves to play with other dogs, and gets along well with other animals. However, she has a dislike for thunderstorms, preferring a quiet space where she can feel secure. Cookie does well alone for periods, often found content in her sunroom or snuggled on a bed. This sweet little companion needs a patient family who can help her fully embrace her playful side. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate friend, Cookie may be just the pup for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
