Here's what the humans have to say about me:
July 2016 update: Meet Cooper! Cooper has been with his foster family for several months. In that time he has grown so much and has made remarkable progress. When he first came to Maine he was not house or crate trained, had high anxiety and was frightened by just about everyone and everything. Now he is a playful, lovable cuddle-bug and responds well to simple commands. He is a fast learner and was a star in puppy class. He can sit, wait for his dinner, lay down, and “walk” (heel). He is getting out and about more to help him feel more confident in new situations. He will protest in his crate but just for a short time and then settles down. He feels more relaxed in an airline style crate.
He plays great with his canine foster sister and human siblings, including a 5 year old boy. He is a great hiking companion, running partner, and travels well in the car. He likes to play fetch with a ball or Frisbee. He is quick with a kiss and once bonded is a loyal companion. Cooper has a sweet, happy-go-lucky nature once he is feeling secure. His confidence has grown substantially in a short amount of time and will only improve with the right guidance and environment. His only drawbacks are his energetic interest in cats and chickens, but he is responding to training. Cooper has such an endearing personality and so much potential!
Cooper's ideal home is with people who are dog savvy and can work with him while being patient, good leaders. He needs to be in a home with another dog to feel safe and adventurous. When he first meets you he might be loud and nervous but if you can ignore him he will do much better and will be sniffing and licking your hand before you know it. Once Cooper knows and loves you, he will sleep in your lap and ask you for belly rubs. He thrives with routine and consistency.
Cooper's mom is a mixed breed girl, possibly a shepherd mix, who is about 60 lbs. The "C" puppies were born under a church as mom was a stray, and rescued by our southern partners. Some people guess there might be some Bulldog mixed in.

Please note, we do not have a physical facility where our dogs are housed, they are cared for in our network of wonderful foster homes throughout New England. If you find a dog you would like to meet, our expectation is that, once approved, you will travel to meet the dog in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.
