Story
She is Very smart loving dog. Very caring with kids and playful with other dogs. She understands commands and the way she behaves, almost feels like she is a human just can not talk like one. Unfortunately our 4-year-old daughter developed allergies, and with the diagenesis it is found out it is from the dog hair. We are heart broken but not seeing any other option to let cookie go. The ideal adopting family needs a big, fenced yard because she loves to run around. She is fully potty trained and will bark when she needs to go out or come in. Adoption fee is negotiable; we are just looking for the best place for her new home.
