Cooper was surrendered to Lancaster Shelter by his owner with a large mass hanging from his stomach. We scooped him up on April 16th to provide the medical care he needed. After Cooper had surgery to remove the dangling mass, he felt like a new man ready for his new life! He is 8 years old and weighs 67 lbs.
Cooper is a very loving, gentle boy who knows SIT and SHAKE and how to catch treats. He enjoys going on our weekly FFF hikes and playing ball. He LOVES belly rubs and isn't shy about asking for them! If you sit next to Cooper, he might just decide to climb in your lap! He loves neck scratches and gives sweet kisses.
Cuddle bug Cooper is a volunteer favorite at FFF, and he has been on many solo outings with volunteers, including to parks for picnics and walks, to Kahoots to shop for treats, to coffee shops, and a pumpkin patch!
Cooper currently lives in a Foster home, and we received a great update from his foster mom:
"Cooper is the best boy! He absolutely loves cuddling, especially if he gets to be little spoon. He also loves his walks and jogs, and is so so good around barking dogs - he doesn't bark back and just keeps walking ahead. He does seem to love other dogs and want to play, which is super cute. Not to mention his little butt wiggle as he walks.
When we first met Cooper at FFF, we thought he was going to be a low energy pup who just wanted his own space. To be honest, he seemed pretty depressed. Turns out he just needed a home environment to show his personality!
He is the cutest dog! He has the excitement of a puppy, but the calmness of an older dog. It's a perfect combination! He is such a happy boy who is full of life! Daily life with Cooper is really easy. I work from home, so he does have a lot of company. He doesn't bark and is super low key when I'm working, which is perfect for me since I have a lot of meetings.
He is always up for a walk or jog, but doesn't have the puppy energy that demands constant walks. He is completely house and crate-trained, making it easy to leave him alone for a few hours when needed (although he definitely doesn't want to be left alone).
He absolutely loves people, and just needs a few minutes to warm up if his person is nearby. Having the stranger bring food and stand behind his person, in combination with giving him his safe space (his crate) has been perfect in our home. Our friends and neighbors keep commenting on how sweet he is!
We host friends pretty frequently for dinners and game nights, and haven't had any issues. The only thing Cooper does is bark at people when they approach me, which is just protective and hasn't been followed by any aggressiveness. He just has a loud bark, which can prevent people from seeing how gentle he is.
Cooper responds really well to verbal positive feedback, and barking isn't much of an issue now. As long as you say "No bark, he'll sit right down and stop. He gets very very happy when you then tell him how good of a boy he is for not barking.
Cooper has been the perfect best friend and the sweetest pup for us. I can't believe he hasn't been adopted yet, but I know his forever family is going to be so lucky."
As wonderful as Cooper is with people (he just passed his Canine Good Citizen test!), he is not well-socialized with other dogs and needs to be the only pet in his forever home.
This makes Cooper eligible for our Molly & Me Project paid foster program.
The Molly & Me Project is for senior dogs left behind by their owners that are poorly socialized with other animals, but they are incredibly loyal companions to humans and likely have been for many years. M&MP dogs are difficult to place and often find themselves in long term isolated kennel boarding or facing euthanasia. The Molly & Me Project was implemented to recruit people that have no other animals who can carry out our mission of family to love dogs like Molly who need to be an only pet long term.
Requirements:
- No other animals of any kind in the household
- Submit weekly photos
- Live an enriching life and include the Frosted Face
- Demonstrate ability to avoid scenarios of negligence that would put the Frosted Face or other animals at risk
Incentives
- $200.00/month for a term of 12 months
- We pay for veterinary expenses
- Receive donated food and supplies
If you are looking for a wonderful buddy, and you don't have other pets in your home, please consider fostering or adopting Cooper!
