About Cooper

Meet Cooper! This charming, bouncy boy arrived at the shelter after being brought in by a community member on October 1, 2026. He has a knack for exploring the world through his nose, always eager to sniff out new adventures. While he might shy away at first, a gentle and patient approach encourages him to reveal his playful side over time. Cooper prefers to settle in at his own pace, so all household members should meet him before adoption. If you have kids, they should be 8 years or older and ready to give him the space he sometimes needs. Bringing along any resident dogs for a meet-and-greet is also important; Cooper likes to ensure everyone gets along. He's neutered and up to date on vaccinations, making him a great addition to a loving home. Come say hi to Cooper—he's ready to share his sweetness and energy with the right family!
