History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own!

A Note from the Foster: Cookie is a 9-month-old female Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her ears and a whole lot of love to give. This sweet, energetic girl is smart as can be—she learned “sit” and “watch me” in just minutes and loves showing off her new skills.

Cookie walks nicely on a leash and absolutely enjoys her daily strolls. She’s also a crate superstar and sleeps soundly through the night. In her foster home she’s had zero accidents and, surprisingly for a Shepherd mix, she practically doesn’t shed!

She’s still a pup, so she’s working on learning personal space (we are working on teaching her “back”), but she’s eager to learn and wants to please. Cookie hasn’t met children or cats yet, so proper introductions would be important.

If you’re looking for a bright, affectionate young dog who’s ready to be your adventure buddy—and your cuddle buddy—Cookie might just be your perfect match!

Adoption Fee: $560 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
