My personality

My story

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

Cooper is a 9-month-old male Bernedoodle weighing about 30 pounds, and he’s looking for a patient, dog-savvy home to help him grow into the confident companion he’s meant to be.

Cooper came from a puppy mill in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he was purchased at just four months old. He can be a little unsure of new people and situations. He may seem quirky or wary at first, especially around strangers and men, but with time and gentle guidance, he does warm up.

With his people, Cooper is incredibly affectionate and cuddly. He adores his owner and is wonderful with children, happily soaking up love and attention. He has shown some guarding tendencies, so he’ll do best with a family that understands canine behavior and is committed to positive, consistent training.

Cooper needs adopters who are willing to invest in his confidence; continuing training, safe socialization, and lots of positive experiences out in the world will help him thrive. In return, you’ll get a loyal, loving, and devoted young dog who bonds deeply with his people.

If you’re experienced with dogs and ready to help a sensitive pup blossom, Cooper may be the perfect addition to your family.

All our dogs/pups are spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They have been dewormed and are current on vaccinations. Our adoption fee includes 30 days of complimentary medical insurance for your new pet. Breed and size is frequently a guess and can not be guaranteed.
Our dogs are fostered on a private residence, we do not have a free standing shelter. They live on a farm where they run and play with other dogs, cats, horses, and barnyard fowl.
Initial contact with us must be made through e-mail.
E-mail ARFofMercer@gmail.com directly for an adoption application or with any questions. Once your adoption application is approved, you will be invited to meet our dogs/puppies.

More about this rescue

Our dogs and puppies are primarily Sato's, rescued from Puerto Rico in the Rincon area (visit www.barksofhope.com).They are flown to Philadelphia airport, immediately vetted, and treated for internal and external parasites. All our animals are spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.
Puerto Rico has a terrible problem with unwanted dogs, litters are discarded on the side of the road, in trash cans, and dumped in the woods. If brought to a shelter, the kill rate is 94%. We are always looking for tourists and business people willing to carry on pups to get them out of a bad situation and into loving, forever homes.
