It all began with “Chance”
There’s no better option…Adoption…
It changes their life…It changes your life…
Welcome to Cookies Country.
We are not just a rescue but also a Sanctuary. We know not every animal makes it into a furever home, so we make sure they have one here, at Cookies Country.
Where time is not counted, they are loved and cherished until the Lord calls them home.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Please take note that our 10 year old, Cookies Canine Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Facebook Page has been hacked and I am STILL actively trying to get it back. The post of the Yorkie IS A SCAM. That is not us. We do NOT have that dog! They are asking that money be sent to Chime and have a fake adoption application. Do not engage on that post please!
I did create a new Facebook page, Cookiez Canine Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, so please, like, follow and share the new page.
Thank You!
Below are our Cookies Country Residents that are available for adoption.

Gigi has spent more than 3,800 days waiting for something most dogs find within months — a family to call her own. This gentle 9-year-old Pit Bull mix (Chinaman/Gotti line) came to us when she was just a shy one-year-old, and she’s grown into one of the sweetest, most loving girls you could ever meet. At first, she’s a little reserved — the kind of quiet soul who observes before she trusts. But once she knows you, Gigi blossoms into a total lovebug who melts into your lap and fills your heart with warmth. Her favorite dream? Curling up on her very own couch, next to her person, finally feeling home. She’s the full package — spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm-negative and on prevention, crate trained, house trained, dog-friendly, and cat-friendly. All she’s missing is you. After so many days of waiting, Gigi deserves her forever couch, her forever love, and her forever home. Could that be with you?

Maggie is possibly a lab mix, female and weighing in at 60 pounds.

During her immediate entry into Cookies Country i noticed a spot start developing around the side of her neck. It eventually opened up so we went into the vet and had it looked at. was determined she needed a minor surgery to get in there and remove what we thought was an internal wart of some kind. A few months later it came back with vengeance so in we went again, This time doc decided to do surgery again and do wider margins and send it off for testing. Well guess what?? It turned out to be CANCER. Doc was so good to her, and she got it all and I am proud to say she has beat a rare form of Follicle Cancer! Maggie is fully vetted. Crate and Kennel trained.

“Volunteering with Cookies Canine Animal Rescue and Sanctuary means being part of something bigger than yourself. This rescue does not cut corners, does not look the other way, and does not stop when things get hard — and they do get hard.
I have watched this team fight for dogs that had no voice and no options. The dedication, ethical standards, and sheer heart behind this organization is rare in rescue.
Cookies Canine Animal Rescue and Sanctuary is not just doing rescue right — they are setting the bar for what rescue should be.”
This year, many paws found safety because compassion showed up.
Cookies Canine Animal Rescue and Sanctuary exists because of people who care deeply about animals in need. From emergency rescues and medical care to warm beds and second chances, none of this work happens alone.
As we celebrate the holiday season, we want to pause and say thank you—for standing with us, believing in our mission, and helping us change lives one dog at a time.
From all of us at Cookies Canine Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, we wish you a joyful Christmas and a New Year filled with hope.
One of the best ways you can make a difference…Adopt
Your choice to adopt saves lives and provides second chances.
By adopting, you are saving at least two lives-the dog you adopt and the dog who is rescued-because you made it possible for the space to be available.
