As a volunteer with the city shelter, I’ve seen a lot of dogs come and go. I often wonder why some dogs get adopted very quickly and others will go for weeks or months without any interest. Of course there’s the obvious reasons: little dogs go quicker than big dogs, as do puppies; but when it comes to the pit bulls in the shelter I am often left scratching my head. A lot of times we’ll have VERY nice pit bulls that don’t get a second look but others that might get adopted or rescued despite the fact that the dog has some issues to work out. So this is the million dollar question…why do some dogs get adopted and others don’t? I know, I know…there’s not really an answer, especially one that wouldn’t involve a great amount of human psychology…but I can still wonder.

Thanks to Downtown Dog Rescue, Cookie will never have to face the “not being adopted” question, it’s just a matter of when. But this is what I ask myself every time I see her…”Why has she not been adopted yet?” Cookie is super sweet, has an incredibly cute and unique face, and is GREAT with all the other dogs in Lori’s pack. This is a dog that will play and be friendly to everyone but will move away at the first sign of trouble. What else could you ask for? If you’re considering adopting a dog, please consider Cookie!
