My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Available for Adoption!

Cookie was pulled from a shelter in mid-March, where she found herself at risk due to overcrowding. With her being a black dog and high energy/dog reactive, she didn’t have a fighting chance where she was. We are so grateful a wonderful woman came forward to foster her, and offered to take her into her board and train facility, to work on her manners and to get her prepared for being a family dog! Cookie has shown how resilient she is, and is proving every single day that she is so deserving of this second chance!

Name: Cookie Crunch
Location of dog: Minden, Ontario
Breed: Cane Corso / Bully mix
Weight: 60lbs
Gender: Female
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Age: 1.5 years
Energy Level: Medium to High
Medical (shots etc): UTD
Microchipped: Yes
Good with dogs: Selective, could do well with a larger balanced dog who won’t challenge her.
Good with cats: No, prey drive is far too high Good with kids: Older kids (14+ recommended), just due to size and lack of manners Good with strangers: Yes, loves everyone.
Guarding issues: None at all, foster can take high valu items from her without an issue.
House Trained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes, love’s her Crate.
Destructive: She is still very puppy like and currently crated or tethered when unattended, but not destructive with toys in her kennel.
Leash skills: Good, She was a huge puller with zero leash Manners and has made tremendous progress with her “loose leash” walking and heeling.
Okay with manipulations: Yes
Known commands: Sit, Down, come, Focus, Place, out, wait and to walk on a loose leash – she is currently doing very well with stay and heel.
Behavior Issues: She would do best as an only pet or possibly with a larger balanced dog, who’s not going to challenge her. Cookie would need to be muzzled initially when around new dogs as her excitement can get the best of her. She can be reactive towards other dogs, at fences and on leash, but since being with her foster, she has seen very minimal of this behaviour at the kennel; as long as her mental and physical needs are met, she is very easily redirected. She Could use a bit more work with her reactivity in a public setting. Cookie is highly food/toy motivated which certainly aids in the training. Would do best in a rural or rural like setting. Would be a great sports dog, LOVES dock diving, can do air retrieve and distance jump very well.
Medical issues: None
Other Observations:

From Cookies Foster: This loveable firecracker is the life of the party, no matter what time of the day she will keep her humans and even herself entertained. Shes a smart cookie who now knows sit, down, come, focus, place, wait, out, crate, and to walk on a loose leash. We are currently doing well with stay, and heeling. Cookie would do best with someone who can keep her on a consistent routine and can continue working on her training. She is crate trained and does love it, she is happy staying in it when the focus can’t be on her. She gets a frozen bone or frozen stuffed Kong during the day and always has a nylabone to chew on. I wouldn’t recommend her having unattended free range just quite yet, rules and boundaries will be essential to cookie thriving in a home setting.

Cookie has done exceptionally well at board and train and is consistently exceeding my expectations. Shes quick to learn and thoroughly enjoys her training sessions.
Cookie is an amazing girl who I promise, will make you laugh daily. She LOVES to play, and she has recently caught on to bringing her ball back to you for another toss. She also loves to play tug, and is doing great with releasing on command. But if you want to pull up a chair she’s happy to entertain herself as well!
A typical day for cookie at board and train is we hike though the property trails at least once a day for about 30min where we practice loose leash walking, then we do about 10min of training/brain exercises after. We almost always play some soccer every day in the yard practicing some obedience while playing. Cookie gets to practice in dock diving a few times a week and is thoroughly enjoying it. She has competed in NADD and has a distance jump of 18.6’. And has 2 out of 5 points towards her Senior Title.
Before bed she loves to cuddle, you will receive lots of face kisses while she snorts away lol If you’re looking for a playful, loving, smart, loyal, athletic dog this is your girl!

Previously from Shelter: Cookie Crunch radiates a contagious joy that brightens even the gloomiest of days. She was picked up as a stray and never claimed, and now is needed out of the stressful shelter environment. For reasons known only to her, she is not particularly fond of other dogs. While she may not be the life of the dog park party, she compensates with an unparalleled loyalty to her human pack. She absolutely melts into you when you show her the slightest bit of attention, and will lean on you with her full body weight while covering you in kisses to show you just how much she appreciates it!

More about this rescue

At F.A.B.R Canine Rehabilitation Therapy and Sanctuary, we are dedicated to giving a second chance to the dogs the world often overlooks. We specialize in taking in the misunderstood—the ones deemed “too difficult,” “too aggressive,” or simply “not worth the effort.” With careful behavioral assessments and tailored rehabilitation programs, we work to uncover the true potential in every dog, especially bully breeds and large power breeds, who are so often misjudged. These dogs are not the monsters they’re made out to be; they are victims of neglect, misunderstanding, and mistreatment. Through love, structure, and unwavering support, we’ve successfully rehomed countless dogs who were once dumped, surrendered, or abandoned—each one now thriving in homes that understand and appreciate them. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to education—we strive to reach anyone who is willing to learn and listen, breaking down harmful stereotypes and replacing them with compassion and knowledge. FABR is powered by a passionate community of supporters who share our belief that every dog deserves the chance to be seen, heard, and loved for who they truly are.
