Cookie (20260725-01)

My story

Cookie is an incredibly sweet little girl who is still gaining confidence in her new world. Her favourite place is right beside her person-or even better, curled up in your lap. She loves being close and is happiest when she knows she's safe and loved. She enjoys playing and would love to join in with the other dogs, but her timid nature makes her a little unsure at first. With patience and a little time, she continues to come out of her shell. She has adjusted beautifully to living with six other dogs in her foster home, proving that she's capable of adapting when given the chance. Cookie is respectful around cats, choosing to simply avoid them, and she does well with both children and adults. She appears to have spent much of her previous life indoors with an elderly owner, with limited exposure to other dogs or new experiences, so everything is still a bit new to her. Despite her shy start, Cookie has a heart full of love and so much potential. She's the kind of dog who forms a deep bond with her family and will reward your patience with endless loyalty, quiet companionship, and sweet cuddles. She's such a lovable little girl!!
