About Cooper

Meet Cooper, an 11-year-old Shorkie (a charming mix of Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier) who still has a lot of love to give. After spending years with one family, he’s in search of a new home—not because of anything he did, but because his previous owner decided they no longer wanted him. With a heart much bigger than his small frame, Cooper craves companionship and needs a patient adopter. He’s not fond of being picked up, so he appreciates gentle, respectful interactions. You'll find he’s most content simply being near you, whether you’re watching TV, reading a book, or enjoying the sun. Cooper has traded youthful energy for the joys of relaxation: cozy blankets, sunny spots for napping, and leisurely strolls. He deserves a family that values his life experience as a gift rather than a limitation. Senior pups have an abundance of love to share, and Cooper is ready to show a new family just how special that can be. If you want a faithful companion who asks for little but gives endless loyalty, Cooper might just be the perfect addition to your home. Every dog deserves to know they are loved, especially in their golden years. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
