Cookie - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Cookie is incredibly happy to have some good humans around to show her love and affection and to train her. We swear she actually looks like she is smiling sometimes! Cookie’s favorite activity is playtime with our 6 month old puppy. They like to run, wrestle, and tug on toys together. She has lots of energy and it is fun to watch her cute little ears bounce along as she does her zoomies at the dog park. She seems to love all sorts of toys and has a hard time choosing which one she wants to play with in a moment; often changing out a toy every couple minutes. In the end, she seems to gravitate towards the ones she can snuggle with. After playtime, she loves scratches and snuggling with her foster parents and siblings. She is just now learning to potty train. Despite that, she has great enthusiasm for praise and treats, so we think she will catch on quickly with a little encouragement. Cookie is great around other dogs and is crate trained.

Cookie is estimated to be 25 weeks old and 20 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. 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.
