About Cookies

Cookies is a sweet, high-energy pit mix looking for a foster home. She joined the shelter when her family was unable to care for her. Friendly and people-oriented, Cookies enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, thriving in the company of her favorite humans. While she can be a bit nervous around new people and environments, she warms up quickly, especially with some food incentives. Her ideal foster would be active and committed to helping her develop her life skills, like greeting politely. Cookies is currently seeking a foster home without other pets and would not be a good fit for homes with young children due to her rambunctious nature. She is housetrained, though she has had some accidents likely due to stress or medical issues. Cookies is crate trained and generally walks well on a leash, though she may pull when excited. If you think you can provide the active lifestyle she needs, consider fostering this loving pup. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
