My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cooper is a 3 1/2 year old mini Australian Shepherd. He loves to go on walks and plays fetch. He would do well in an active household. He got him from an experienced breeder. We got him in June of 2020. I think because he didn’t see many people other than us for a long time, that he is fearful when people come to the house. He does great in other locations such a doggy daycare, the vet, the dog park etc. He will bark a lot at anyone who comes to the door. If you don’t have many house guests then it really won’t be a problem, but he would not be ideal for anyone who likes to have people over often. He’s great with kids, and pretty tolerant of rough housing. He will want to be by your side at all times. He’s like Velcro. We feel so bad that we can’t be his forever home. He have an only child who’s 6 who wants to have friends over. We want to have friends and family visit, and it’s just nearly impossible with his barking and fearfulness. It’s made life a bit isolating for us and prob him.
