Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Cooper, an eighteen-month old male, Redtick Hound/Border Collie mix with a beautiful face and loving personality. We are biased perhaps, but he is simply perfect with his short, brown and white fur, and stunning markings. He weighs in at around 55 lbs. He is active, sturdy, healthy, neutered and up to date on shots.
Although he loves to play and discover, Cooper can also be laidback depending on his mood. Cooper is comical and happy no matter what is happening around him. He is not a dominant dog and he is happy to follow the others. He enjoys a good run with his siblings and plays for hours. Although he currently lives in kennels, this young man likes to be comfy, and knows it’s our job to make that happen. Cooper is looking for warm human companionship, daily exercise, and firm, consistent, and patient training. He was housebroken but has been living in kennels for a long while so he will need to be reminded about manners. This boy would be good in both an urban or rural setting, preferably in a house with a yard, and he will need to be exercised.
Cooper has interesting parentage. He is a mix of Redtick Coonhound and Border Collie. English Coonhounds tend to be quiet in the house, and require regular exercise to keep in prime condition. They love to nest and make good house pets. Border collies are highly intelligent dogs, energetic, acrobatic, clever and athletic. Both breeds are great around children. Cooper’s quiet, gentle temperament tends towards the coonhound.
Cooper is neutered and up to date on shots. He is healthy and sturdy. His adoption fee is $150.
For more information on Cooper, please contact Louise Vande Wiele at 615 500 3164. We will respond as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, please read the following so that you are aware of, and agree with, our process before asking to adopt one of our rescues.
Anyone wanting to adopt a dog from the RARFS is required to fill out an adoption application, provide references, sign an adoption contract, agree to a home visit, and finally to pay an adoption fee. Once the application is received, references checked, and a home visit completed, and everything is satisfactory, families can take their new family member home. Families who rent must provide a letter from their landlord stating that they are allowed to have a dog, and listing any size or breed restriction.
We are located in Cookeville, Tennessee. We prefer that families come and pick up their new family member, but a licensed pet transport is available. Should we need to transport dogs to their new homes, the adopter will need to arrange and pay $150 per dog directly to the transport company.
Should a dog adopted from RARFS need to be rehomed, we ask that the dog be returned to us, or that we approve the new home. We have a no questions asked return policy, but adoption and transport fees will not be reimbursed.
As a non-profit organization, RARFS relies on your adoption fees to cover costs. We receive no outside funding. Fees help us care for the animals we shelter, and enable us to offer them to you for adoption in a healthy and happy state. Fees cover the costs for spaying/neutering, intake vaccines, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and any other medical expenses. Without these fees we could not continue to rescue animals from abandonment and/or a life of pain and suffering. We’ve been asked these questions before, so: NO, we will not waive or reduce adoption fees; YES, you can further pay it forward by making a larger donation than the requested fee.
RARFS rescues dogs, not breeds, and we want you to fall in love with the dog you adopt into your family so, as potential adopters, please be aware that the information we provide is to the best of our knowledge. When it comes to breed or age information on a given dog, we must often guess, rely on our knowledge, or go by what we are told by rescuers, vets, and breed experts. If you are looking for a purebred dog, please visit one of the many breed specific rescue organizations on this website.
