My personality

My story

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

Meet Cookie. 🍪
Melbourne, AR

Cookie is a sweet Ridgeback–Jack Russell mix with a gentle heart. She starts shy, but she warms up fast. Give her a little time, and she’ll stick by your side.

Why Cookie stands out:
• 💕 Affectionate, loyal, and calm
• 🧠 Smart and well-mannered
• 🚪 House-trained and lets you know when she needs out
• 🐶🐱 Great with dogs, cats, and kids
• 😂 Quiet, funny, and easy to love

Cookie enjoys company and does fine with another dog or as your only pup. She’s also a bit of a climber, so she’ll need a secure yard and supervision outside.

If you want a kind dog who blooms with patience and love, Cookie could be your girl.

Ready to meet her?
We’ll set up a time that works for you.
