❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Cookie's Story

Cookie and her siblings were still dependent on their mother when the little family was abandoned. Suddenly, their mom was responsible for keeping her babies safe without the security of a home or people to help her.

Thankfully, someone noticed this vulnerable little family and help arrived. Cookie, her siblings, and their mother were brought into rescue and given the safety and care they needed.

Cookie can now focus on growing, playing, learning, and discovering how wonderful people can be.

She's still a very young puppy, and her personality will continue to develop as she grows. Early experiences matter enormously at this stage, and a loving family that provides positive socialization, training, and stability can help Cookie become a confident and happy adult.

As a Pug / Chihuahua Mix, Cookie may inherit a wonderful combination of affection, intelligence, playfulness, and loyalty. She'll likely enjoy being close to her people and participating in everyday family activities.

Cookie needs a home that can provide:

Positive reinforcement training
Patient house-training
Safe and appropriate socialization
Daily puppy play and enrichment
Consistent routines and boundaries
Plenty of affection and companionship
A safe indoor environment
Lifelong commitment and veterinary care

Cookie was given a second chance. Now she needs someone prepared to make that second chance last a lifetime.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Cookie will need guidance as she learns everything from house-training to appropriate play and basic manners.

Puppies require significant time and patience. Chewing, teething, accidents, curiosity, and bursts of energy are all normal parts of development.

Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule:

3 Days to begin decompressing
3 Weeks to start understanding the household routine
3 Months to become comfortable and feel truly at home

Positive reinforcement, consistency, and early socialization will give Cookie the strongest possible foundation.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Cookie's adopter should be prepared for a lifelong commitment to her physical and emotional well-being.

Her care should include:

Completion of all age-appropriate puppy vaccinations
Spaying when age-appropriate
Routine veterinary wellness examinations
Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention
A balanced puppy diet appropriate for her size and development
Dental care
Continued training and socialization
Appropriate daily exercise and enrichment
Lifelong veterinary care

A veterinary examination shortly after adoption is recommended to establish ongoing care.
