Notes from Rescue Ridge

Courtesy post: Rescue Ridge has not met this dog.

FOREVER HOME NEEDED

Cookie, the longest canine resident at RG CARES Animal Shelter in Pomona, has been waiting four years for a family.

Four Legs Good describes the 8+ year-old pup as affectionate, playful, and goofy. The rescue says she loves people, car rides, snuggling, adventures and even kayaking. Cookie also knows basic commands and walks well on a leash.

The rescue says Cookie would do best as the only pet in a home with someone who has big-dog experience. Older children would make great playmates, and a fenced-in yard for zoomies and sunbathing would be a bonus.

What happens next

  1. Contact Rescue Ridge using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Rescue Ridge, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
