At the Animal Orphanage in Old Town, Maine, a variety of adoptable dogs are eagerly awaiting their forever homes.

One such dog is Cookie, a 5-year-old with a sweet and silly disposition.

Initially shy, Cookie warms up to people and reveals her fun personality.

She enjoys car rides, knows basic commands like "sit," and walks nicely on a leash.

Cookie has been diligently working on building her confidence around new people.

While she could benefit from continued training, her eagerness to learn makes her a joy to work with.

Having lived with other animals in the past, Cookie may do well with them again if given proper introductions.

She would thrive in a home with older children who can respect her space as she settles in and builds trust.

If you're looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time to show her true self, Cookie might be the perfect match for you.
