Story
Meet Miss Cooper! Miss Cooper is a sheltie mix with a bundle of love and expertise to share. At 13 years old, she has learned a lot of life lessons and has become an expert napper. Cooper’s motto: “Life is short, nap often.” This sweet old lady is looking for a cozy retirement home to call her own. Cooper would love a place where she can snooze throughout the day and enjoy the finer things in life. She is a very chill dog and likes to take things easy. She loves laying in front of a fan on hot summer days. Sometimes you’ll catch her squeaking her favorite piggy toy while you snack, as if she’s asking you to share. Cooper walks well on a leash and also enjoys taking small strolls throughout the neighborhood (at her pace). She is crate trained and potty trained. She also does just fine free roaming the house. Cooper gets along well with other dogs, cats, and does not mind kids. Cooper is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heart-worm negative, and on regular heartworm prevention.Ready to be Cooper’s retirement home? Head on over to our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered. Thank you for considering adopting!https://www.pawsofadamscounty.com/adoption-foster-appwww.pawsofadamscounty.com
