Introducing Cookie, a brave Shih Tzu who's finally stepping out of her old world as a retired puppy mill mom and looking to embrace a brighter, kinder life. This gentle girl has spent years in less-than-happy circumstances, but she's ready now to meet a family who will show her what it means to be cherished.
All About Cookie:
Age: 6 years young
Breed: Shih Tzu
Personality: Cookie is a delicate, shy little lady who's still learning that people can be wonderful friends. She's hesitant but oh-so-sweet, greeting her humans with a waggy, barky fanfare each time they enter. Though she's curious about people, she's more of a "watch from a distance fan than a cuddle bug right now. Sudden movements make her wary, and she's not one for being picked up-but she'll eagerly keep a loving eye on her humans, checking in to make sure everyone's alright. With soft beds, tasty treats, and gentle words, she'll thrive in a home that doesn't expect instant snuggles.
Special Needs: Cookie's still getting comfortable with home life, and she's working on her trust and house-training. With patience and a gentle approach, her loving nature is sure to blossom over time.
Doggy Friends: Other dogs are her comfort zone! Cookie absolutely needs a calm canine buddy who can be her guide and help her gain confidence in her new home. A kind, gentle dog will be the friend she needs to feel truly secure.
The Perfect Home for Cookie:
Doggy Companions: Cookie thrives with a friendly dog sibling by her side. Having a buddy is a must!
Patient, Understanding Family: A family who will give her time to trust and love at her own pace.
Calm, Quiet Environment: A peaceful home with gentle routines will be ideal, helping Cookie slowly adjust to life as a loved family member.
If you're ready to give Cookie the safe, loving home she's been waiting for, she's ready to meet you. Be part of her journey as she transforms from a life of hardship to a world filled with love, patience, and the joy of true companionship.
Please give your veterinarian permission to provide a reference prior to applying, and let us know once you've done so.
