My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Getting to know you! Hi I’m Cookie, and I’m a sweet girl who loves pets. I can be a little shy when I first meet you, but I warm with a gentle approach. I love to get pets, especially good scratches. When you hit the right spot, I’ll lean into you for more. I also enjoy enrichment items such as snuffle mats and licky mats and would love to continue my training with you. I will do well with someone that can comfortably broaden my horizons and build my confidence. And did I mention I love toys? A good game of tug or fetch and I couldn't be happier. At least two in my mouth at one time makes me a very contented girl, indeed! I am sure to blossom with just a little patience and will make a wonderful companion and confidante for a loving family.
