Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cookie, in a word: FUN! He's an extremely happy and good natured guy who wants to be a friend to everyone he meets - dogs, cats, adults and kids. Cookie would thrive in a home that gives him some good exercise everyday (hiking, running, biking, skiing, dog park, etc) and is very chill in the house so long as he gets out for daily enrichment. He would adore a canine sibling that will play with him, and/or a dog that will confidently set boundaries with this big goofy teenager. He'd probably also succeed as an only dog that gets out for lots of time with other dogs. Cookie is good with the cat in his foster home, and quickly learned to leave her alone. He's a confident guy who treats new experiences eagerly and loves to do and learn new things. He's easy to train and is getting better with his leash skills and recall every day, and would excel in a home that continues to build his knowledge of commands and staying focused. Cookie crates easily, has been completely non destructive (he loves his chew toys but understands not to touch anything else), and appears to be 99% potty trained. He likes to follow his people around the house but isn't needy, and sleeps a lot. Cookie has a very gentle mouth and doesn't tend to jump up, and would likely be great with kids that are big enough not to be bowled over easily (he doesn't have much awareness of his body yet!). If you're looking for your next adventure buddy and social butterfly, Cookie would love to meet you!

La Plata County Humane Society was established as a 501(c) 3 animal shelter in 1971. The humane society was created to provide shelter for homeless animals, rescue animals in distress, assist in the investigation and prosecution of reported cruelty and abuse, find homes for unwanted animals, and encourage kindness and responsibility toward all living things through humane education.
The Thrift Store was established in 1990 to raise monies for the homeless animals. They sell gently-used goods donated by our community. We accept donations 7 days a week through our on-site drive through donation center. The Thrift Store helps to support other local non-profits in the community by donating clothing, toiletries and vouchers to the Volunteers of America (VOA), La Plata Family Coalition, the Women’s Resource Center and many other non-profits.
The Shelter & Thrift Store are directed by nine elected board members. In 2000, a veterinarian was added to our staff to insure that all animals have a health and wellness check, are spayed or neutered, provided initial vaccines, implanted with a identification microchip and have the best quality care before leaving our facility. We are committed to helping animals become their best selves before they are adopted into forever homes.
Help Us, Help Them, One Paw at a Time.
