Sugar Cookie

My story

ABOUT SUGAR COOKIE As her name would suggest, this lady is sweet as sugar! Sugar Cookie came to HAP when she was abandoned as a stray. Despite looking for her owner, sadly, no one came looking for her. We estimate her to be around 6 years old. While many pups may lose trust after being abandoned, that is not our Sugar! She loves people and making new friends! When she's not leaning into your legs or climbing in your lap for love, she can usually be seen curled up on her bed for a nice, long nap. Sugar has made some doggy friends at the shelter too, though she prefers more laid-back pups. She already knows basic commands, appears house-trained and walks well on a leash. Sugar has thrived participating in our Doggy Day Out program, check out what one volunteer had to say about her: "Today I hung out with Sugar Cookie. She is just the sweetest thing, she did so great in the car, and loved sitting on my friends laps so she could stick her head out the window. We went on a walk and ran around the back yard. Sugar was pretty good on a leash and only needed some redirection (which she responded very well to). She loved feeling the snow on her paws. We then went back in to have a dance party where she jumped and ran around the whole time. Eventually she got tired out and we snuggled on the couch. She truly is the most precious, loving dog who deserves the BEST home ever. I love her." - Grace "Got to take out the sweetest Sugar Cookie today. She's truly an angel and was so good the whole time. She walked very nicely on her leash, stayed calm the whole time, and wanted to say hi to everyone. Everyone who met her on the walk loved her and she loved getting butt scratches from everyone haha. She'd be a wonderful addition to any home " - Anna "Sugar Cookie is a sweet pitty girl. She is very sweet and loves her people so we decided it was time to take her out and about. She walks well on the leash but is a strong girl and can pull a little bit. She takes her treats nicely and knows basic commands. She was pretty well-behaved inside a public establishment with multiple other dogs around. She met lots of people, including some kids at both establishments we visited. She rode well in the car and just enjoyed looking out the windows and sniffing the air! I would not hesitate to take her out and about again so she can show everyone how great she is!" - Tim.
