Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Weight: Unknown

Fletcher was originally brought to us as a stray almost exactly a year ago. His original owners found him a couple months later and took him back home. He was returned because he was too protective of the mom and kids when the father came home late at night. Fletcher is housebroken, knows commands, and loves to sleep in the same room as his person. Come out and take him for a walk!

Sponsor this Animal

Age: 1 Year 10 Months Old
Gender: Spayed Female
Breed: Pointer / Shepherd Mix
Weight: 53 lbs when spayed

Cookie has been with us since January 14, 2012. She was found as a stray in Todd. She is a bit much for other dogs to handle and needs an experienced owner. Cookie got her name because of the markings on her side that look like a Cookie Monster! ***Update**** Cookie attended Melissa MacKinnon’s obedience class and passed with flying colors. She knows sit, down, stay, spin, twirl, and is working on loose leash walking. She is calm and easygoing in her foster’s back yard. She does not jump or bark excessively. Cookie is an affectionate girl looking for a good home. Cookie attended Tour for Life and she was the life of the party. She got along with all the other dogs and was respectful and playful with them. Cookie does not show well cooped up and bored in the shelter. She is very bright and learns each new trick very quickly. She needs regular exercise and positive stimulation like training. If you adopt her and give her exercise and training she will be a fabulous companion. She would love to hike and jog with you. If you have questions or would like to meet Cookie call Joanne at 297-1344 after 10 am.
