Meet Cooper. Cooper is an 11-year-old Shorkie, a mix of Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier, with a heart that far exceeds his small size. After a life spent with one family, he now seeks a new beginning, not due to any fault of his own, but simply because his previous owner decided to let him go. Despite his heartbreak, Cooper remains hopeful. He’s the kind of companion who’s happiest by your side, whether you're watching TV, reading, or enjoying a peaceful day. At his age, he has traded the chaos of puppyhood for a love of cozy beds, sunny napping spots, leisurely strolls, and a generous supply of affection. Cooper deserves a family that embraces his age as a strength. Senior dogs like him have an abundance of love to give, and he’s eager to show just how special he can be. If you're looking for a loyal companion who asks for little but gives so much in return, Cooper might just be your perfect match. Every dog deserves to grow old knowing they are cherished. Adoption fee: $250. We are located in Fosters, AL but can transport Cooper to St. Louis, MO, and further northeast to CT, PA, VT, and along our route. Ready to meet this charming boy?
