About Cookie Hadley

Adoption Donation $ 499 Located: RI (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details) Age: approx. 4 - 7 years old Weight: 11 lbs. Meet Cookie Cookie is a sweet, lively 11 lb. terrier mix with a big personality. Her reported age is 4 years old , although the veterinarian estimates she is likely closer to 7 years old . She is affectionate, playful, energetic, and very well housebroken with regular potty trips outside. She sleeps in her dog bed or with her person if allowed. Cookie gets along with other dogs, but she is high energy and can play intensely, so she should be closely monitored with dogs significantly smaller than she is. She also has a high prey drive and is not suitable for a home with cats, rabbits, or other small animals that roam freely. Contained pets such as reptiles and securely caged birds are fine. On her first day in foster care, Cookie experienced a seizure. There were several unusual circumstances that may have contributed. She had just experienced a stressful transport and major transition, it was an extremely hot day, and dehydration or overheating may have played a role. Immediately beforehand, she slipped on the stairs and was caught before falling, so she did not hit her head , but the sudden scare and physical stress preceded the episode. The seizure involved thrashing, paddling and drooling. She recovered well, was back to her normal self within about 20 minutes, and has had no additional episodes or concerning symptoms since. Because her previous medical history is largely unknown, we can’t know whether this was an isolated situational event or something that could recur, and her adopter should be comfortable monitoring her and pursuing veterinary care if needed. Cookie isn’t recommended for very young children simply because her enthusiasm includes jumping up, and she could accidentally scratch or knock over a small child. She can also be a barker when left alone, so an apartment or other home with shared walls may not be ideal. Cookie doesn’t need a perfect history to be a wonderful dog. She needs the right home : one that appreciates her energy and affection, understands the things we’ll never know about her past, and is prepared to give her the happy, secure future she deserves.
