Meet Sookie 💕
15 years young, 20 lbs, and absolutely rocking her signature one-ear-up, one-ear-down look 🥹

This sweet little lady is the definition of a perfect chill companion. Calm, gentle, and easygoing, Sookie is happiest curled up in a cozy dog bed or lounging right by your side.

We think Sookie is a beagle/Russell terrier mix, and she came to Canines & Kitties after her owner could no longer care for her. Despite all the changes in her life, she’s remained loving, friendly, and full of quiet charm.

Sookie loves pets, treats, and meeting new people. She’s great with other dogs and is reportedly good with kids and cats too — basically a low-maintenance sweetheart with a whole lot of love to give 💛

She’s up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and ready for her next chapter.

All Sookie wants is a safe, cozy home and someone to love her forever. Could that be you? 🐾

If you are interested in adopting Sookie, visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org.
