Sweet Cookie was tied up to a tree, when two HWMAR volunteers saw her.  They immediately knew that they had to do something about the situation.  The owners, while they meant well, just couldn't take her of her anymore.  Cookie looked her, now foster, in the eye and gave her a big hug....and that was it...she was off to a fresh start! 

Her soulful eyes will draw you in.  Her sweet natured temperament will make you fall in love.  Her physical needs will help give you a sense of purpose.  She needs an angel.

Does she have her quirks?!  Of course!  (I mean, who doesn't?!!) Her body shows the wear & tear she has been through over the years, having litter after litter.  Being tied up to a chain with little medical care has made her wiry hair thin and non existent on her hind quarters.  We are hoping that will resolve over time and with proper nutrition.  Cookie is very itchy and may need ongoing medical care to figure out what is the cause, we are currently experimenting with different solutions.  HWMAR is very hopeful that this girl will look and feel very different 6 months from now.  Better days are ahead for this sweet girl.

Cookie is potty and crate trained.  She's very easy going and puts herself to bed around 8pm each night in her crate.  She does enjoy a good fence climb, so she needs to either go to a home with a non scale-able fence or with none at all.  She does well on a leash and gets along just find with all size dogs.  She used to live on a farm but is doing well adjusting to the suburban life.  

Are you Cookie's angel on earth?

(Please note- if you happen to be looking for two dogs, Catalina came from the same property and they do well together but are not bonded, so can be separated.)

Cookie's adoption fee is $175 - which includes core vaccinations (age appropriate), microchip & spay/neuter at one of our contracted vets (if applicable)
