Rockland County Shelter’s Longest Resident Still Waiting for a Forever Home

Published

on

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — At more than eight years old, Cookie has spent the last four years at a local shelter, making her the longest resident currently waiting for adoption.

Despite the long wait, Cookie remains a friendly, affectionate dog who continues to win over staff and volunteers with her loving personality. She enjoys spending time with people, whether it’s going for car rides, exploring the outdoors, or simply relaxing with a good cuddle. She’s also known for her playful, goofy nature and her love of attention—especially when it comes to back scratches.

Described as a “smart cookie,” she knows her basic commands and walks well on a leash. She has even shown a love for adventure, including activities like kayaking.

Cookie would do best in a home where she can be the only pet, allowing her to soak up all the attention. An experienced dog owner, a household with older children, and access to a fenced-in yard would provide an ideal environment for her to thrive.

Shelter staff say Cookie’s story is a reminder of the many animals waiting for homes and the importance of adoption. After years of waiting, they hope her next chapter will finally be with a family of her own.

Those interested in adopting Cookie or learning more can contact Four Legs Good NY NJ for more information. 🐾

On March 28, a Rockland County family of five—mother Yuliya, father Yuriy, and their three sons, Deny (15), Mark (12), and Dave (9)—set out for what was meant to be a joyful family vacation to Florida.

Tragically, their journey was cut short when a pickup truck crashed into the back of their vehicle.

Today, two of their young sons, Mark and Dave, are fighting for their lives in critical condition in the ICU at WakeMed Raleigh Campus in North Carolina.

While Yuliya and Yuriy did not suffer severe physical injuries, the emotional toll of this unimaginable tragedy is profound. No parent should ever have to endure this kind of pain and uncertainty.

The Hlovatsky family, along with their friends and loved ones, are asking for prayers and support during this incredibly difficult time. Right now, Mark and Dave’s lives hang in the balance.

A GoFundMe link to support the family is being shared on our Facebook page.
