About Cooper

Cooper is a young, large Goldendoodle looking for his forever home after an owner surrender, and he has thrived in foster care. He balances play and calm perfectly—a true adventure partner who’ll happily hike or join you on long daily walks, then spend the rest of his day quietly curled up nearby. Mornings start strong with a brisk two-mile walk; by afternoon, he’s settled, content to lounge with his favorite donut toy or watch TV beside you. Cooper adores fetch and tennis balls but is just as happy napping at your feet. He is affectionate without being clingy and asks gently for attention with a soft nudge. This dog can be reserved with strangers at first, but warmth and trust come quickly, and then his sweet, easygoing personality comes forward. Cooper gets along well with dogs, cats, and children and is impressively quiet, except when alerting to visitors at the door. He's crate trained, sleeps through the night, and waits patiently to be let out every morning. Continued training will help him keep blossoming, and he’s eager to please—a great match for someone who wants a loyal sidekick as well as a mellow companion. If you want a devoted friend for adventures and downtime, Cooper could be it. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
