My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there, my name is Christmas Cookie, but you can just call me Cookie!

I’m a sweet, 2-year-old, 60 pound girl with a heart full of love and a gentle spirit. My journey hasn’t been the easiest—I was picked up as a stray with my two little puppies. We found ourselves in a shelter, but I did my best to stay calm and positive for my babies. Once my pups were adopted, I finally got a chance to step out of isolation and show the world my warm, affectionate personality.

I’m a friendly, adaptable girl who loves meeting new people. Men, women, you name it—I’m happy to greet everyone with soft eyes and wagging tail. I absolutely adore pets and attention, and I’ll happily soak up as much love as you’re willing to give.

I’ve met cats before, and while I’m curious about them, I don’t get overly excited—even if they run past me. With some patience and treats, I think I could learn to live peacefully with a feline friend. As for other dogs, I enjoy their company and have had fun playing with both males and females in playgroups.

I’m pretty easygoing on a leash and rarely pull, even though I haven’t had formal training to heel. Walks are one of my favorite things, and I’d love to explore the world with you by my side. My foster family says I’ve been affectionate and adaptable from the moment I stepped into their home, and I’m already making progress on being introduced to their two cats.

I got my name because I’m as sweet as a cookie, and I was rescued on Christmas Eve while my foster mom was baking Christmas cookies—talk about perfect timing!

If you’re looking for a calm, loving, and affectionate companion to brighten your days, I just might be the one for you. Let’s make a fresh start together—I’m ready to fill your life with sweetness and joy!

Adoption Process

Our adoption process is designed to help you and the right dog find each other. Our goal is to place each dog into a permanent, safe, and loving home.

To adopt a German Shepherd Dog from us, you must:

1. Live in Northern California.
2. Complete an Adoption Questionnaire, either online, or by mail. If you do not own your home, you must also have your landlord complete the Landlord Letter.
3. Be interviewed by an adoption counselor.
4. Allow a home visit by an adoption counselor.
5. Choose, and be chosen by, the right dog.
6. With our approval, sign our Adoption Agreement, and pay the associated fee.
7. At the time of adoption we also collect a deposit which is refunded after completion of two training sessions.

After we receive your online Adoption Questionnaire, we will call you to begin the adoption process. We encourage potential adopters to come to one or more Adoption Days, because that is the best way to meet several German Shepherds and to find your new companion. If you attend an Adoption Day and choose a dog, you may be able to adopt the same day, if all adoption requirements are met.

If you cannot come to any Adoption Day, we can still assist you, this may take longer because the people who will help you are volunteers who usually have jobs, and scheduling meetings with dogs can be complex because our dogs live in many homes and kennels.

We do not adopt to homes outside of Northern California.
