Cookie's story
Meet Cookie.  This gorgeous girl recently arrived in a severely overcrowded shelter in a rural part of SC.  She was turned into the shelter because her owner was moving and unable to take her with him.  Worthy Dog would love to help her find a forever family.  In order to do so, we need a foster or adopter willing to take her in.  If you are able to help, please do apply. 
Cookie is currently living in a foster home in rural SC while her shelter recovers from the hurricane. She is described as very sweet and well-balanced. Her foster has this to say about her: 
FOSTER UPDATE
Housetrained? If not sure, tell us how they did in this area under your care. I'd guess she had been previously housetrained. No accidents, even when left alone, whined to let me know she needed to go out, then walked around a bit and did her business. 
Crate trained? If not sure, tell us how they did in this area under your care. She was fine being gated off in the bathroom, I didn't use a crate. She paced for a little then settled in and was fine, we did this to feed the dogs, while i was at work and overnight.
Leash walking skills? Please describe. She is really good on a leash! When she sees the leash, she sits on her own and stays completely still and waits for you to hook the leash to her collar, walks calmly, doesn't jerk you around or try to take off
Energy level of pet?  Very mellow. Very calm but will play if you get her going, throwing a ball and such.  
Personality of pet. Friendly.  Affectionate. Happy to hang near you.  Well mannered. 
Best suited in a quiet home, moderate activity home, busy home? I think she would do well in any home, she's just happy to be where you are really, if it were a busy home she'd probably 
Ready to go and do? Does your pet like car rides? Are they open to go and to and explore? Good choice for walking down a Main Street setting? Better suited staying on the sofa and cuddling? Prefers less activity and happy to stay closer to home and to their human? She really could do as well chilling at home as exploring around the dog park. If you throw a ball she'll chase it and if you sit on the couch she'll lay down at your feet. She's not high energy but she'd play with you. She was scared at first in the car but once we got settled and moving she was just looking out the windows
If your foster interacted with other dogs in your home how did that go? She wasn't afraid of my dog and also not aggressive. My dog was growling and a bit snippy with her but she still wanted to play with him. He is a jack russell so experience was with a smaller territorial dog but even on walks she just wanted to say hi to other dogs and people, no signs of aggression or fear, she's an extraordinarily calm well adjusted dog :)
Please describe what you feel might be the ideal home for your foster? Would the home have kids? Seniors? Cats? Farm setting? Condo setting? Appt setting? Fenced in yard?  I feel that Cookie's demeanor makes her incredibly adaptable. I truly think she'd do just as well with space to run and humans to be active and play with as she would be just hanging out at home, she was equally fine when we got to be outside and walking and chasing a ball as she was when we were stuck inside watching TV.

You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to http://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application.
