COOPER is a 3 yr old male gray & white color Shih Tzu. He is about 15 lbs. He is on monthly heart worm, flea/tick preventative, UTD on all vaccines, rabies and been dewormed, microchipped, neutered and groomed recently. This little guy and his brother hold a very special place in my heart. I could see myself being the foster fail here but with 6 dogs, I need to do what is best for him. Cooper came to us from unusual circumstances. His owner's job took her out of the country and a family member agreed to care for them. But less than 48 hours before she was to board a plan the family member backed out, leaving her with no other options. Over the months, she has tried to return home. At the time, I was praying we could hold this sweet boy for her return, but it didn't happen. So, due to no fault of his own, he is looking for a new family. He is very shy and will steer clear of you for a while.


He LOVES to sleep on the bed with you, at first coming to the top, but in a few minutes he's happy at the foot. He is a rather independent guy. He is fine with the other dogs here. He will follow you room to room but lay around on the sofa or a chair, then he plays with his toys. He loves carrying a small squeaky outside each time he goes and usually brings it back inside. He’s house trained but if left loose too many hours he will go inside on a pee pad. He is great with our 11 yr old grandson. Each morning he gets on his bed to wake him up and give kisses. He always brings a toy to the bed, like my sleepy head grandson is ready to play. When Cooper was about 7-8 months old he was in a private home for boarding and one of the large dogs got out and attacked him. He lost his left eye. It was completely removed and stitched closed. So, no meds are ever needed.


If you're looking for an excellent travel partner, Cooper is your guy. He sits and never stirs around in the car. He is great at the vet's office and for the groomer. And lives to go outside in a fenced yard and run until his tongue is wagging. This breed requires maintenance of grooming at least every 8 weeks. He gets a pre/probiotic daily and he loves his peanut butter, just one small bite in the evening. He loves broccoli as well. Sometimes he eats beef liver, hearts and kidneys cooked and freeze dried as a topper. I absolutely LOVE this dog and will want a very special home for him. He really needs a stay-at-home person for him. He's not a fan of just being alone. With all the dogs here, he plays with them all the time and squeaky toys. NO CATS!!!!!
REMEMBER:. All rescues need time to acclimate to new people, smells and surroundings.
