My story

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

Meet Cookie! Cookie came in as a stray and then was surrendered by the previous owner due to their age and wanted to do what was best for her. It turns out, Miss Cookie here is an escape artist and her owner is older and just not capable of chasing after her and worried about her safety. Not only does Cookie dig a hole to get out, but she will also jump on anything near a fence to attempt to jump over it, and she has been able to climb a chain link. Now, we have not seen her attempt to climb the fence here or dig a hole here at the shelter, but we supervise her when she is outside, she does play the "catch me if you can" game with us when it is time to put her up. She will be 2 years old March 1st, so she is full of energy and lots of personality lol. She loves to play with toys, she was doing well potty training in the home, but if you are gone for several hours, she may have an accident. Whoever adopts Cookie, will need to leash walk her, or have a very secured fenced in area and she will need to be supervised while outside. She is already spayed, good with other dogs, and she is a Chihuahua Poodle mix. Please make sure you have the time to keep up with her, not only with her escaping like a Houdini, but also with her grooming. If you are interested in adopting Cookie, give us a call at 804-520-9397 ext 5.
