Meet Cookie 🍪 — the wiggly, giggly, all-black sweetheart with a heart of gold and the softest smooshy face you’ll ever meet!
Cookie is about a year and a half old, and we think she’s a pittie–lab mix, which basically means she’s equal parts silly clown, loyal best friend, and expert snuggler. From the second she hops out of her kennel, this girl is ready for fun! She’s always up for an adventure — tail wagging, tongue lolling, eyes full of sparkle — and she’s never met a human she didn’t instantly adore.
She’s the definition of a people-lover. When Cookie meets someone new, she does a happy little dance that involves full-body wiggles, helicopter tail spins, and the occasional “boop” to your hand, asking for pets. She is always so thrilled to be getting love that she can hardly hold still — her whole body is like a wiggly noodle of happiness.

And when it came time to meet a kiddo? Cookie absolutely nailed it! She instantly toned it down, stayed calm and gentle, and didn’t even try to jump. It’s like she just knew this tiny human needed extra softness. She took pets so sweetly and wagged her tail like she was saying, “You’re my new best friend!” She’d be such a sweet family dog — the kind who’s always there for backyard zoomies, couch snuggles, and endless love.
Cookie loves other dogs too — she’s super playful, loves running around, and can have a great time with the right pup friend. She just needs a dog-savvy family who’s comfortable continuing to help her with her manners around other dogs and food. Cookie has made amazing progress already, but she’ll do best in a home where mealtimes are kept separate (she’d prefer to eat without sharing her bowl, thank you very much!). With a confident owner and some patience, she’s going to keep learning that she doesn’t have to worry about her snacks being stolen.
She’s not a fan of cats — they’re just too tempting for her curious nature — but she’d absolutely thrive in a home full of people who love her as much as she’ll love them. Cookie’s perfect day? A fun walk, a playdate, a cozy nap, and lots of belly rubs in between.
With her shiny black coat, big goofy grin, and wiggly “I love you!” energy, Cookie is pure happiness wrapped in fur. She’s the kind of dog who greets every day like it’s her birthday and every person like her long-lost best friend.
If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate, endlessly loving sidekick who will make every single day brighter — Cookie’s your girl. 🍪💖

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
