Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cooper is a male GSD, approx. three years old. He was found running the streets of Stockton in June and picked up as a stray. By July 11, this sweet soul was suffering from kennel stress and was scheduled to be euthanized.
Danielle and Peter read his plight and immediately decided to foster Cooper, who was on borrowed time. He was to be euthanized by 5:00 on July 12.
Once outside of the shelter and in his foster home Cooper started to relax. And boy did he. He napped and napped like he missed a year of sleep. He slowly met the resident dogs in the house, observed the backyard chickens and peeked at the resident cat, sometimes barking to let him know he saw him.
Cooper's silly side started to come out too. He gets the zoomies and seeks out affection from his foster mom and dad with head nudges, paws on an arm or leg, and a lean against them.
Cooper is currently living with three older GSDs (two females and a male) and would do best in a home with an older, confident female dog to pal around with.
Cooper is potty trained and sleeps in a crate overnight. He is working on leash walking, sit, and how to settle in his crate during the day for short intervals. He will need someone who is experienced, patient, and will keep a consistent schedule with him.
This gentle boy is looking to connect with his forever person.
