About Cooper

Meet Cooper, also known as Dozer! This boisterous six-month-old puppy weighs 25 pounds and has legs that sometimes act as if they belong to a toddler. Cooper charges through life like a tiny bulldozer, determined to be the first at everything—food, doors, and any activity happening nearby. Smaller pups in his vicinity are just minor speed bumps in his path. We believe he’s a Border Collie/Labrador mix, but what he might grow into remains a mystery. Cooper is playful and gets along well with dogs of all sizes, though his smaller playmates sometimes bear the brunt of his exuberance. His antics include fitting an entire puppy head into his mouth, which we’re trying to convince him is not an appropriate greeting. He’s a smart cookie, already learning "sit" and walking nicely on a leash, even if he sometimes mistakes fingers for treats. At home, he’s surprisingly well-behaved—sleeping through the night, exploring freely without causing chaos, and making strides in house training. However, he’s not for homes with cats or small pets; Cooper finds them too tempting and has a hunting instinct. After a busy day of bulldozing and supervising, he turns into a goofy, affectionate snugglebug. Cooper needs a family ready for some puppy shenanigans and willing to keep guiding him as he learns about the world. If you think you have the room (and couch space) for this lovable, lanky puppy, Cooper is eager to meet you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
