Mack is super friendly and loves everyone he meets.
He is professionally trained, housebroken, and walks beautifully on the leash. While he is completely neutral around other dogs when out and about, we prefer he be the only dog in the home so he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves.

FOREVER HOME NEEDED

Cookie, the longest canine resident at RG CARES Animal Shelter in Pomona, has been waiting four years for a family.

Four Legs Good describes the 8+ year-old pup as affectionate, playful, and goofy. The rescue says she loves people, car rides, snuggling, adventures and even kayaking. Cookie also knows basic commands and walks well on a leash.

The rescue says Cookie would do best as the only pet in a home with someone who has big-dog experience. Older children would make great playmates, and a fenced-in yard for zoomies and sunbathing would be a bonus.
