About: Cooper
Hello! My name is Cooper! I'm a mixed breed pup with a sweet personality, ready to give you all my love and loyalty. At 35lbs., I'm the perfect size, don't you think? Foster mom thinks I am a aussie or collie mix. I have super soft fur and the prettiest brown eyes! Here is what foster mom has to say about me:
- I am super friendly and love people. I love getting attention and being pet. I am a lap dog!
- I am dog friendly- I get a long well with the other dogs in my foster home. We all play and run around the yard together.
- I love playing with toys! Bring me all the toys!
- I am medium energy. I like to play and explore, but I settle down well.
- I am still young so I will need some help learning not to jump up on people for attention or up on counters for snacks. The good news is, I am very food motivated, so getting me to do something is pretty easy.
- I have a sensitive tummy, so I am on special food. My adopters should know I may need to stay on special food.
- I was quiet in my crate and have not had any accidents.
- I do like to bark and dig while I'm out in the yard, but I do listen to foster mom when she tells me to quit it.
- I was really dirty when I got to my foster home- She gave me a good scrub down in the bath and cut out a lot of my mats.
I’m looking for my forever family! Is that with you? If so please hit the apply button and let’s get our family started.
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
