About Cooper

Meet Cooper, a lively 7-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix looking for his forever home! This 55-pound male has a wonderful spirit and a heart full of affection, but he's had some tough encounters with aggressive dogs, making him protective and a bit reactive around them. He thrives in the company of humans and is fantastic with kids. Currently, he prefers being the only dog, where he can soak up all the love and attention. Cooper has a playful side, enjoying tennis balls and agility courses, and he loves exploring the outdoors. Cooper was rescued from No Kill LA at just 4 months old and has been a loyal companion ever since. He has no medical issues and is ready for adventures, from hiking to playing fetch or simply cuddling on the couch. If you believe in him and can provide the patience and love he needs, you will have a devoted friend by your side. Could you be the one to help him flourish? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
