Cookie

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Young Β· 3 years

Big smushy boy Cookie came to us from the pound where he was taken as a stray. He is a very friendly boy who loves everyone he meets. He is a gentle giant (55kg) and takes treats beautifully. Cookie seems good with other dogs too but does not like cats. Because of his unknown history we will home him with children over the age of 12 years old. Cookie walks well on a lead but once he wants to sniff something interesting then he is a strong boy! He has been diagnosed with having elbow dysplasia and would benefit from a calm home and as the only pet. Cookie is such a sweet, cuddly boy and has had very little interest! He would make a very loving and loyal pet, he just needs to be given a chance.

About Cookie

What life with Cookie looks like

Cookie is an extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Leicester Animal Rescue in United Kingdom.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible β€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cookie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cookie?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Leicester Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cookie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cookie if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Leicester Animal Rescue whether they will for Cookie, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cookie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Cookie. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Leicester Animal Rescue, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Cookie isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Leicester Animal Rescue about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cookie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
