Meet Cooper, your bouncy bestie in training! At just 2.5 years old, Cooper is a happy-go-lucky terrier mix with a tail that never stops wagging and eyes that sparkle with mischief (the good kind!). Despite his unknown past, he has the sweetest eye contact, a big heart, and a soft spot for squeaky toys and tug ropes—especially if you’re on the other end! This pup is a pro at "sit" and loves interacting with his humans. He might get a little carried away with excitement during play (what can we say—life is FUN!), but he listens well and calms down with a simple "no." Cooper’s a breeze on leash (with the occasional "let's go faster!" moment), and he’s super social with new people. Ideal home: An active household (kids 12+) who appreciates goofy energy, rope toys, and a side of wiggles with their morning coffee. Ready to play? Cooper’s ready to tug your heartstrings!
