Story
Hi! I’m Cooper—Coopy if we’re cool like that👋Professional good boy, part-time couch ornament, full-time snack enthusiast. I'm a lab mix with a heart of gold and a stomach that insists its never full. My needs are simple: regular meals, a comfy couch, & an easygoing life. My humans recently had a baby, & after multiple moves and big routine changes, my anxiety ramped up. I’m currently on Prozac and doing better every day—I just need a calmer environment and an owner with the time to help me keep progressing. I think I can hang around small or senior dogs but I can be a bit fear-reactive around other pups (working on it!) but once I feel safe? I’m loyal, sweet & an excellent lazy companion. So I can potentially live with other dogs if I'm with a patient, experienced person who understands fear-based behaviors. This isn’t about me being “too much”—I just need more than my current family can give right now. If you’ve got patience, treats & a cold spot on your couch, I might be your guy! ♡

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Suki, a 4 year old Chiweenie was adopted from Atlanta Humane in early 2023. She loves to be rubbed and showered with attention. Fetch is her favorite activity! She knows & understands simple commands (i.e. yes, no, come here, wait, outside & treat- her favorite). She enjoys sunbathing and being outside with the family. She is also crate trained and knows it as her “bed” & is house trained. Like most dogs, Suki has great hearing and barks whenever she hears something or someone she’s unfamiliar with. She definitely lets the house know (by barking) when someone is at the door or comes to visit. She’s not a fan of baths or the vacuum cleaner. Suki was diagnosed with IVDD in late September which caused temporary paralysis. She’s recovered and is back walking. She has a little wobble when running, sometimes causing her to fall down but she’s able to get up immediately. Up-to-date with Rabies vaccine only.
