More about Cookie Dough
Some of yall may remember Cookie Dough from way back in January when we pulled her from the shelter after she was listed as “at-risk”. She’s still with us and has been thriving in foster care ever since! Now, she’s ready to find her forever home. 💛
Her foster says:
“Cookie is a drop of sweetness with a dash of spice… there’s never a dull moment! She’s got a bold, curious personality and loves to explore the world nose-first.
But Cookie’s not all go-go-go, she LOVES her chill time too. A good chew toy, belly rubs, and a cozy lap are her idea of heaven. She’s affectionate, snuggly, and loves her people fiercely.
Sure, she’s got her quirks… who doesn’t? Cookie Dough knows what she likes (and doesn’t!). She’s been a joy to have in foster care. I know that when she bonds with someone, she’ll be their ride-or-die for life.” 🥰

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the adoption fee?
What does pre-adopt mean?
What if the pet isn’t a good fit at home?
We want every match to succeed. We offer a “Paws & Reflect” trial week before signing our adoption agreement and paying any final fees. If things don’t work out, we ask that you return the pet to us so we can find the right next step – no judgment.
Can I meet the pet before applying?
How long does the adoption process take?
All of our adoptable pets are in foster homes, so meeting them depends on scheduling with their foster family. We’ll work with you to set up a meet-and-greet as soon as possible. Some pets may be available for pre-adoption while they finish medical care. Depending on the specific pet, they might go home with you early or stay with their foster until everything is finalized. Either way, we’ll guide you through the process!
What does it mean for a dog to be heartworm positive?
It means the dog has tested positive for heartworms, a treatable condition caused by parasites spread through mosquito bites. It’s not contagious to people or other pets, and we’ll cover the cost of treatment through our veterinary partners. These dogs can still live full, happy lives – and they need loving homes just like any other pup!
What does it mean for a cat to be FIV positive?
Does the pet have to be spayed/neutered?
Yes – all pets adopted through our program must be spayed or neutered. The only exception is for senior pets who, after veterinary evaluation, are determined to be medically unfit for surgery due to age or health concerns. Spaying and neutering is an important part of responsible rescue and helps us prevent future pet overpopulation. It can also reduce chances of certain cancers and behavioral challenges for your pet!
