My story

Meet Cookie – A Broken Heart Ready to Love Again Just a few weeks ago, Cookie’s world shattered. The only family she had ever known left her tied up and abandoned, alone and afraid. When she was rescued, she was completely shut down—confused, heartbroken, and unsure if she could ever trust again. But even in those first quiet days, there was something in her eyes: a flicker of hope, a quiet longing to believe in love once more. With time, patience, and gentle care, Cookie has started to come back to life. Day by day, she’s showing us who she truly is—a soulful, affectionate girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Cookie is deeply connected to people. She craves human companionship and lights up when she feels safe and seen. Once she trusts you, she’ll follow you from room to room, curling up beside you for comfort and leaning in for affection. She is the kind of loyal companion who just wants to be your everything. Because of her past, Cookie does best as the only pet in the home. She’s reactive to other dogs and needs a calm, stable environment where she doesn’t have to compete for attention or feel on edge. A home with adults or older children who understand her boundaries and can give her the predictability she needs would be ideal. Underneath her cautious exterior is a smart, expressive girl who has so much love to give. She’s affectionate, playful, and incredibly devoted once she opens up—and she’s just waiting for someone to see the beautiful spirit that’s been there all along. Cookie has made incredible progress, but shelter life is no place for a dog still healing. She needs a quiet home where she can continue to grow, feel secure, and finally learn what it means to be truly loved. She’s ready—now she just needs someone willing to give her the chance.
