***UPDATE: Transferred to rescue!
💔 We need your help for Cookie. 💔
This is one of the harder posts for us to write.
Cookie is a 7-year-old female beagle who has been in our care far longer than anyone hoped — not because of anything she did, but due to a legal case that delayed her adoption. That case is now resolved, but the time spent waiting has taken a real toll on her.
Cookie is sweet, dog-friendly, and people-friendly, but she struggles with separation anxiety, and the kennel environment has become incredibly hard on her. Shelter life is not what Cookie needs, and it breaks our hearts to see her so stressed.
We are being honest because we care deeply about Cookie’s well-being: she needs an adopter, and she needs one soon. We cannot continue to watch her suffer when the right home could change everything for her. To help set Cookie and her future family up for success, the shelter will provide one month of behavior medication and a training package to support her transition.
If you’ve ever considered opening your heart to a dog who just needs a little extra reassurance, Cookie may be your girl. And if you can’t adopt, please consider sharing her story. The right person is out there — we just need help reaching them.
