Cookie - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Gaithersburg, Maryland

When we first met Cookie, she had just been rescued from a shelter where she had been abandoned. The constant barking from the large dogs in the kennels around her left her completely overwhelmed. She spent her days hiding behind her bed, too scared to come out.

Since coming into our care, Cookie has completely blossomed. She's still a little shy when meeting new people, but once she knows she can trust you, she's the sweetest girl. She'll follow you from room to room, curl up in your lap, and happily fall asleep in your arms. These days she's even discovered the joy of the zoomies, and she absolutely melts when you baby-talk her.

Cookie is ready to find a forever home where she'll never have to wonder if she's safe again. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion with a playful side, Cookie can't wait to meet you. Apply today to set up a meet-and-greet!
