My personality

My story

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

Cooper is our lovely senior boy, looking for a nice, calm home. He is very sweet and lovey-dovey. Can be nervous around some men. When he's comfortable with you, he's not shy to "tell you" what he's thinking and what he wants.

He is very food motivate, but he needs to be fed with caution. He will eat until he vomits and then since his tummy is now empty, he wants to eat again. We find that it is best to feed him measured meals, 3 times a day. He's currently eating some kibble with the canned food mixed in with it and that seems to keep him from vomiting much better than if he were just left to scarf it down.

He's in really good health and is up to date on his vaccines, he's been neutered and recently visited the vet for his checkup. He did well. He does sometimes get stressed with noise and can vomit. Once he's chilled out, he's fine. Doesn't happen often, but I guess everyone can have a bad day. He's currently out of state, but will be transported at no cost to the adopter.

He is a special little boy that needs a great home to make the rest of his life the best years yet! Someone to make him feel so wanted and so loved and to spoil him to bits! If that could be you, please contact us for more information about Cooper!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting a Peke is fairly simple.

We do all we can to see that each Peke is taken to the vet, have their shots, heartworm test and a spay/neuter. Some of the dogs go to the groomer and have a dental, depending on condition.

1. We send an adoption application via email or postal mail to anyone interested in adopting. IT TAKES TIME TO GO THROUGH ALL THE APPS AND REFERENCES WE GET! PLEASE REMAIN CALM!! IF YOU TAKE UP OUR TIME ANSWERING ALL YOUR MESSAGES ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON, IT WILL TAKE EVEN LONGER TO GET THROUGH THE APP!! You are free to ask questions about the app in a calm and respectful manner. RUDE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED!
2. If the app check goes well, we do a home visit to make sure that the home is safe.
3. If we feel confident that this is the right home for our Peke, then the adoption is made final. You will sign a law abiding adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. NO, DOGS ARE NOT FREE. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE ADOPTION FEE, YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PROPERLY CARE FOR A DOG! DON'T ASK, NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE!
4. CONTACT IS BY EMAIL!
