About Cooper in NY

Cooper is a charming 13-year-old male Dachshund currently residing in Buffalo, NY. This chocolate-brown fellow is house trained and leash trained, though he’s not too fond of crates. Cooper is neutered and fully vaccinated, making him a healthy companion ready for a forever home. He enjoys the outdoors and needs a fenced yard to roam freely. While he has been adjusting from a previous home in Texas, Cooper has become less tolerant of small children, so a home with kids 10 and up who respect his space is ideal. He gets along well with both male and female dogs but does not do well with cats. Cooper is a loyal little guy who enjoys following you around, keeping an eye on things. His favorite toy will go with him to whichever home he chooses, so if you’re looking for a gentle companion who will make you feel secure, he’s eager to meet you! Cooper prefers someone who can be home often and would love a senior buddy to keep him company. He’s ready to find his next chapter with an adopter who knows his worth. Don’t let his age fool you; he’s healthy and even lost just one tooth recently during a dental. If you think you could be the right home for Cooper, please reach out today!
