WCRR meets Cookie

Have you ever seen a more worried looking dog. This is cookie. And yes she is shy and most likely worried.

Cookie has not had the best life but is currently at Richmond Animal Protection Society and is now safe. But she needs a home. She needs a home where she will be treated like family. One that will show her love, affection, and safety. One that will never tie her up outside again, one that will never hurt her again and one that will give her the time she needs to show how much love she has to give.

I got to spend a little bit of time with Cookie and she loves what she is named for. She will sit, do down, wait (only for a minute though), and shake a paw for a cookie. It didn't really matter to her if it was some dry old thing or one of the valued homemade liver brownies. Its all the same to her.

What I did see though was one scared dog. On our short walk she kept trying to dodge traffic, kept away from people and make sure that no one would go near her. Don't get me wrong, it isn't as if she was jumping out of her skin, but it was very easy to see how frightened she is.

Cookie doesn't need to come to West Coast Rottweiler Rescue. She is safe and loved there, but she does need her own place. She hasn't been socialized much so most likely she should be an only dog. Maybe with some time and work, she could come around but for now a place of her own with her own family would suit this gal just fine. If you think you could offer her all that she needs, please contact RAPS directly. I know they would love to find Cookie a warm bed away from the shelter RAPS.shelter@telus.net
