About Cooper

Cooper is a happy, snuggly hound with a heart as big as his floppy ears. At about 65 lbs and roughly 4–6 years old, this gentle Treeing Walker Coonhound/Foxhound mix thrives in calm, predictable environments. Affectionate and well-mannered, Cooper loves to curl up beside his people after a stroll and will charm you with his little dinnertime “dance.” He’s fully house and crate trained, settles well into a routine, sleeps soundly at night, and relaxes when his people are away. Cooper comes when called, enjoys leisurely walks full of sniffing, and is content to anchor the house with quiet companionship. He will do best as the only dog in a home, enjoys the company of adults or older children, and isn’t comfortable around young children. Cooper gets along with cats and other dogs but prefers solo status. Because he can jump a 4-foot fence, he’ll need a securely fenced yard 5 feet or higher or an adopter committed to daily walks. Cooper manages a kidney condition with medication, a special diet, and regular bathroom breaks, but he takes it all in stride and continues to embrace life. If you want a calm, loyal companion with a quietly loving spirit, Cooper may be waiting for you in Raleigh, NC. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
