About Coop

Coop might bark a bit in his kennel, but that shyness quickly fades once you meet him outside. He’s eager to connect and warms up to newcomers fast. Coop’s favorite thing is playtime—he loves zooming around the yard, tossing toys in the air, and especially tug of war with a rope. He’ll gladly jump into friendly roughhousing with another energetic dog and keeps pace with the most spirited playmates. He’s not just playful, though. Coop is a sharp learner and knows all his basic commands. He thrives on pleasing people and picks up new tricks quickly. Even with all that energy, Coop knows how to wind down: he gives gentle hugs and will press close for a good cuddle with his favorite humans. If you’re looking for a big-hearted friend who’ll stick by your side—and give you a reason to keep laughing—he might be your match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
