About Cookie

Cookie is a sweet, smart female Border Collie mix with a heart full of love to give. At around 1 year old, she’s spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped—ready to settle into her forever home. Gentle and obedient, Cookie can be a bit shy at first, but once she trusts you, she truly blossoms. She's a dedicated snuggle bug, often seeking to be as close as possible, even in your lap. After being rescued from a not-so-great situation in Texas, she prefers indoor life and waits patiently by the door when her person is outside. Cookie is happiest when surrounded by her family and enjoys car rides around town, staying close to her person as they explore new sights. This resilient girl has shown calmness in stressful situations, like during a 150-acre fire that affected her area. She loves her crate, using it as a cozy space for relaxation and to chew her toys. Curious about other dogs, she gets along well with them, and with gentle guidance, she's learning to coexist with cats. As a Border Collie mix, Cookie's intelligent herding instincts need stimulation. Keeping her engaged with training and tasks like sit, stay, and fetch will benefit her. While she's learning table manners and what she can chew, she will need an active family for both physical and mental exercises. Cookie is a quick learner and eager to please, making training a rewarding experience. She displays natural herding traits, such as nipping at ankles to redirect slower walkers, and her new family should monitor her interactions with small children due to this behavior. Cookie has a few endearing quirks, like eating gracefully with a fork and spoon. She's quite the character, enjoying her dog cartoons on YouTube and finding joy in her reflection. This energetic girl also has a knack for jumping over obstacles, so a secure yard with a tall fence is a must. We seek a home for Cookie that understands herding breeds and can give her the time she needs to trust. She promises a loyal companionship filled with adventures.
