About Cooper

Cooper is a lively male miniature schnauzer, weighing in at 12 lbs and approximately 2 years old. He’s a high-energy little guy who thrives on attention and interaction, making him the perfect companion for active households. Cooper has successfully lived with a toddler, showcasing his friendly disposition. While he is crate trained and may be house trained, he would benefit from a refresher course on house rules. This little guardian is quite vocal and acts as a great alarm system, so he might not be suited for apartment living. He loves his walks and car rides, and he's especially encouraged by treats. Cooper is heartworm positive but is undergoing treatment, with more information available over the phone when needed. He does not get along with cats, so his ideal home would be cat-free. His adoption process will be handled by his caregiver with transportation arranged to meet his new family. Your new best friend is waiting for you!
