Story
Pupdate- 4.16.24 Hey friends, I'm Cooper! I'm an awesome boy with quite a story. I will start with telling you a little about the amazing progress I have made in a short amount of time. Pull up a chair , I can’t wait to tell you about myself… Mr. Cooper LOVE people and affection. If you are interested in having someone be your loyal shadow, this guy is for you! He is an extremely strong and muscular dog weighing in at a solid 62 pounds. You should note that I eat about 3.5-4 cups of food a day. I do seem to have some digestive issues (toots), so we stick to chicken or beef based dog food. I am very food motivated, so you can use food as treats…I don’t seem to know the difference ;) When I first came to my foster mum , I was: not house-trained, not crate-trained, couldn’t walk on a leash, has some skin issues and sores on my feet. But in a short 6 weeks …guess what… I am INCREDIBLY excited to share that I have overcome all of the skills just listed! I do fall into my old habits of being mouthy, at times when engaging in play. I’m not being aggressive , just very excited and a lot of energy makes me overly excited. From my foster mum: Although Mr. Cooper LOVES kids, he does not remember his size. This paired with his energy can lead to jumping and possibly knocking over any children. Teenage children or older is recommended. Mr. Cooper also loves other dogs. Mr. Cooper LOVES to be outside. This includes just lounging in the sun or running zoomies in the yard. His foster mum “highly” recommends a house for him “not” in the cities but instead a quiet area. He currently lives on 4 acres on a quiet dead-end cul-de-sac. He has jumped a fence in the past and his foster mum believes he would still be capable of this, so a fence is not a confinement solution for him long term. He currently runs on a 50 ft. leash lead and this seems to work well. He has stubborn streaks and will not listen if he is determined or focused on something. He seems to have a “very” high prey drive! Although he lived with a small dog in the past, his foster mum doesn’t know how he would do. There are two small dogs in the neighborhood now and he seems very eager to meet them but he needs to continue practicing his manners prior to meeting them (they are quite small). Although he doesn’t bark when people knock at the door, ring the door bell, or stand in the open glass; he will stand gazing eagerly at the individual on the other side. But he doesn’t seem to bark. He does bark when foster mum leaves the house, so he should not in a home with any shared walls. Cooper does not like the cold or to be cold. He LOVES to snuggle in foster mum’s softest blankets and cuddle next to her all night long. I love to lay wherever you will let me but know that I can only go where my basketball blanket is placed. *Cooper will come with transition sessions with his trainer to help make sure he has a successful transition to his new home as well as being able to communicate with the trainer before meeting Cooper. We love him and are ecstatic he is ready to find his forever family! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 27, 2024, 12:23 pm
