Cookie #10 | 12 weeks | Aussie Mix with a big personality

Cookie is an 12-week-old Aussie mix puppy with a fearless heart and an endless zest for life. Weighing about 10 pounds, this white-and-merle boy is playful, sweet, friendly, and already showing signs of being a confident little adventurer. He loves toys, enjoys car rides, and is always up for playtime or a cuddle when he finally slows down. Very little fazes him-if something doesn't go quite right, he bounces back quickly and is ready to try again.

As a young puppy, Cookie is starting from scratch with house training and basic manners. He is still learning to be comfortable in his crate and may whine or bark at first, especially when left alone, and he cannot hold his bladder for long yet. He has been left crated and alone for short periods (about 3-4 hours) and is making gradual progress. Like most puppies, he is working on play biting and learning to chew toys instead of hands, and food is a great motivator for him.

Cookie does very well with other dogs and has had positive interactions with large dogs, including a Mastiff and a Great Dane. He would love a home with another playful dog to help burn off his energy. He is also doing well with cats-he wants to play and may chase a bit, but is learning boundaries as the cats become more comfortable. He has not yet met children, but he shows no preference for men or women and is generally very social.

This high-energy pup will need an active home committed to exercise, training, and structure as he grows. With his intelligence, fearlessness, and enthusiasm, Cookie could be a great candidate for activities like agility in the future. Most of all, he needs a family ready for the joys and challenges of puppyhood-and who will enjoy watching this confident little guy grow into an amazing dog.



If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.

The adoption fee for this pet is $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following:

Spay/neuter

Microchip

DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
