About Cooper

Cooper is a young Lab mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He's basically everyone's best friend-dogs, cats, kids of all ages... if it moves, Cooper is ready to love it. His happy-go-lucky attitude and wagging tail make him the perfect sidekick for all of life's adventures, whether that's hiking trails, road trips, or just zooming around the backyard. He's learning the ropes with kennel time and will let you know when he needs a potty break while he's in the kennel. Cooper is smart, eager, and always ready for whatever comes next-especially if it involves his favorite humans. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate pup to keep life exciting, Cooper is your guy. Cooper's adoption fee is $275 and comes with age appropriate vaccines, neuter, microchip, and heartworm prevention. Cooper is available to LOCAL (KC area) adopters only through our Foster to Adopt program. To meet Cooper, submit an application today at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LUCK/Dog

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Kansas City winters bring cold temperatures with ice storms that can make sidewalks and trails treacherous. Short-haired breeds need warm coats, and paw protection helps against road salt. Swope Park and indoor pet-friendly spaces keep dogs active through the season.

Spring

38°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring is beautiful but brings tornado season to this Tornado Alley city. A pet emergency plan is essential from March through June. Between storms, Loose Park and the Country Club Plaza area are wonderful for walks as flowers bloom.

Summer

65°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers call for early morning or evening walks and constant hydration. Pet-friendly patios throughout the city let you enjoy KC’s barbecue culture with your dog. Watch for heat exhaustion on humid days when the heat index climbs above 100°F.
