Cooper is a striking 5-year-old Golden Retriever and German Shepherd mix with a sharp mind and a loyal streak. Neutered and fully vaccinated, he's set for the next phase of his life. Cooper thrives when he's got structure—he already knows his commands and takes his playtime seriously, especially if a ball is involved. He enjoys the company of other dogs and does well with older children, blending sociability with an active, attentive personality. Cooper is kennel trained and was reliably housetrained, but will settle in best with a steady routine and a refresher course so he gets back into the swing of things. He loves routine and benefits from someone who understands how to give clear boundaries, especially around food and treats—he can be protective of his meals. With consistency and the right attention, Cooper is ready to be a fun, devoted companion for someone who appreciates smart, energetic dogs with a touch of character. Fun fact: with a birthday in April, Cooper is an Aries—no surprise he likes to take charge! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
