Cookie, mixed breed

Notes from Cookie's caretakers:
Cookie's got so much love to give and just needs someone to share it with. This long, lean gal can't wait to go on walks and hikes with a forever family. Her favorite game is fetch, but like any youngster she's still learning the "bring it back" part. She's such a fun delight to play with and she wants plenty of snuggle time too - just an all-around great dog.

Helga's an affectionate senior looking for a home where she can be the only star in your sky. When not snacking on tasty treats, Helga spends her time daydreaming about her forever family. Sure, she's quite comfortable at our adoption center, but the setting doesn't compare to having a home of your own.
