About Cookie
Meet Cookie, the little sweetheart who melts hearts everywhere she goes. She’s a super‑sweet, friendly, affectionate girl who absolutely lives for human company. If you’re looking for a cuddly companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Cookie is your girl. She’s gentle in everything she does, from greeting people to playing with toys, and she never jumps up or gets boisterous. Small but adorably stocky, she stands around knee height and carries herself with a soft, loving presence.
Cookie’s playful side shines when toys come out, and she’s a joy to watch as she entertains herself or engages in gentle games. Out on walks, she’s a delight, she moves nicely on the lead, isn’t a big puller, and only shows strength if she’s particularly excited. Most of the time, she strolls along happily, taking in the world at a comfortable pace.
With other dogs, Cookie shows glimpses of friendly, calm behaviour, but she’s still building her confidence. She can become avoidant and prefer not to interact, so she’ll need a family committed to ongoing training, patient socialisation, and helping her feel secure. At only 18.2 kilos, she’s a lovely medium‑sized dog, easy to handle and a great fit for a home ready to support her growth.
Cookie is about 90% house‑trained in the shelter environment and will benefit from continued routine and guidance in her new home. She’d be best suited to an adult only home who can respect her gentle nature and support her confidence. If you’re looking for a loving, snuggly companion with a heart of gold, Cookie is ready to be your new best friend. Apply Now for the opportunity to meet this gem of a dog. ❤️
