You’re safe now.”<br/><br/>I dream of being adored not just for my sweetness, but for my courage — for trying, every day, to let myself trust again.<br/><br/>Maybe I’m the One You’ve Been Waiting For<br/><br/>If you’re searching for a gentle little companion…<br/>a quiet cuddlebug…<br/>a sensitive soul with a huge heart who just needs kindness to shine…<br/><br/>Then maybe — just maybe — I’m your girl.<br/><br/>I’m ready to love deeply.<br/>I’m ready to feel safe.<br/>I’m ready to be someone’s forever.<br/><br/>With all my tender heart,<br/>Cookie

From My Heart…

My Name Is Cookie, and I’m Hoping for a Soft Place to Belong**

Hi…
My name is Cookie — a small 2-year-old Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu mix with a quiet heart, a soft soul, and a deep longing for someone who will love me gently.

I weigh only 16 lbs, but the love I carry inside me is much bigger.
I’m spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy, but the thing I want most isn’t found in a medical chart.
It’s found in a family…
a lap…
a warm voice…
a safe place to rest my head.

I will be available for adoption in Toronto, ON from January 14th and can travel to other provinces if there is a potential adopter for me. My adoption fee is $1000CDN.

Here is my story:

A Gentle Soul Learning to Feel Safe

I try so hard to be brave.
I really do.

I’m incredibly sweet — I love cuddling, resting in your arms, being held close, and soaking up every bit of affection you offer. I bond deeply and quietly, the way tender-hearted dogs do.

But I’m also shy.
And when something scares me, I don’t know how to say, “I’m nervous.”
Sometimes I show my teeth for a moment… not because I’m mean, but because my heart trembles before it trusts.

If you move slowly, speak softly, and show me
