Clark (Cookie) - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Roanoke, Virginia

Cookie is a big, handsome blockhead with an even bigger heart. He's happiest when he's with his people, soaking up attention, playing, and sharing all the love he has to give. Don't let his size fool you, this sweet guy knows no strangers, already knows his basic commands, and would make such a fun companion for someone looking for an adventure/play buddy and best friend.

We're still getting to know Cookie, but we think he'd enjoy a playful canine friend who can keep up with his rough-and-rowdy play style. Because he's a large, energetic guy, he'd likely do best with older, dog-savvy kids.

If you're looking for a fun and loyal companion with a larger-than-life personality, Cookie would be a perfect addition!

While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
