Cookie is still waiting… and she’s holding onto hope that somewhere in Rockland County, her forever family is looking for her too.

Day after day, this beautiful sweet girl watches people come and go, hoping that maybe today will finally be the day someone stops for her. Someone who sees more than just a shelter dog — someone who sees a loyal companion, a gentle soul, and a best friend ready to give unconditional love.

Cookie deserves to know what it feels like to have a warm bed, a safe home, and a family who will never leave her behind. She deserves walks filled with excitement, quiet nights curled up beside someone who loves her, and the comfort of finally belonging.

But she can’t find that home without our help.

Please consider opening your heart and giving Cookie the second chance she’s been waiting for. And if you can’t adopt, sharing her story could be the reason the right person finds her. One share, one comment, one conversation could change her life forever.

Let’s come together as a community and make sure Cookie’s story gets the happy ending she deserves. Let’s show Cookie that Rockland cares.

If you’d like to learn more about Cookie or help her find the loving home she deserves, please reach out to Four Legs Good NY NJ.

D-Day Remembrance Day: Honoring the Allied Invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944

Rockland Report Admin

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched D-Day (Normandy landings), part of Operation Overlord — the massive amphibious assault on Nazi-occupied France along the beaches of Normandy.

It became one of the largest and most consequential military operations of World War II, involving thousands of ships, aircraft, and ground troops from multiple Allied nations. The landings took place across five beaches — Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword — in a coordinated effort that would shape the course of the war in Europe.

The operation marked a decisive turning point, eventually leading to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. The fighting on D-Day came at a tremendous cost, with thousands of soldiers killed or wounded on the first day alone.

Today, D-Day is remembered not only as a major military milestone, but as a moment defined by extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and unity among ordinary people called to an extraordinary mission.

We honor and remember those who never made it home.

Scammers often target older adults by pretending to be family members, government agencies, banks, healthcare providers, or technical support representatives. Their goal is to create panic, gain trust, and convince victims to send money or provide personal information.

Common Scams Targeting Seniors

• Grandparent scams involving fake emergencies and urgent requests for money

• Tech support scams claiming your computer has a virus or security problem

• Fake IRS, Social Security, Medicare, or law enforcement calls

• Lottery and sweepstakes scams promising prizes in exchange for fees

• Romance scams through social media, dating websites, and messaging apps

• Bank fraud and account compromise scams

• Investment and cryptocurrency scams promising guaranteed returns

Protect Yourself

✅ Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers to someone you do not know or have not verified.

✅ Verify any urgent request by contacting a trusted family member, friend, or organization directly using a known phone number.

✅ Never provide personal, banking, Medicare, or Social Security information over the phone unless you initiated the contact and trust the recipient.

✅ Be cautious of callers who pressure you to act immediately, threaten consequences, or demand secrecy.

✅ Legitimate government agencies, financial institutions, and law enforcement organizations generally do not demand immediate payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, wire transfer, or other unconventional payment methods.

✅ If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

What To Do If You Suspect a Scam

📞 Hang up the phone or end the communication.

🛑 Stop responding to calls, texts, emails, or messages from the suspected scammer.

👨‍👩‍👧 Contact a trusted family member, friend, or caregiver.

📋 Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency, financial institution, or the appropriate consumer protection authorities.
