Meet Cookie

Meet Cookie! A charming ten-year-old Havanese currently in Scottsdale, AZ, whose essence is a gentle burst of affection wrapped in a beautiful white coat with brown patches. At just nine pounds, Cookie may be small in size, but her heart is wonderfully large! This sweet girl is happiest when she is close to her people, whether she is snuggled beside them during a quiet afternoon nap, strolling through the neighborhood, or happily accepting a tasty treat. She has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of companionship and truly shines when surrounded by the humans she adores! Cookie especially enjoys the company of women and children, greeting familiar faces with warmth and enthusiasm. She still has plenty of pep in her step and easily hops on and off furniture, proving that age is only a number. While she is not much of a barker, she is an excellent communicator who always finds a way to let her family know exactly what she is thinking. A busy, connected family would be a wonderful match for Cookie! She thrives when included in daily activities and loves being part of the action. Whether it is running errands, visiting friends, or relaxing at home, she wants to be right there with her favorite people. Cookie experiences significant separation anxiety and needs a family who can be with her throughout the day. Human companionship is not just something she enjoys, it is something she genuinely needs. Because she forms such strong bonds with her family, she would do best with adopters who can include her in their daily lives and arrange doggy daycare or a trusted pet sitter whenever she cannot come along. With the right support and plenty of together time, Cookie is a devoted companion who will happily return every ounce of love she receives. Cookie is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Friendly with strangers, compatible with children of all ages, and comfortable around other dogs, Cookie brings kindness wherever she goes! One of her most endearing qualities is the way she gazes at her favorite people as if they are the center of her universe. Could Cookie be the loving little shadow who joins you on all of life’s adventures? If you would like to learn more about welcoming Cookie into your family, please contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!
