Story
Cooper is a lover of people. He can't wait to show a new friend his toys and get some pets. Bonus if they have a treat to share. Cooper would do best with older kids...littles are a bit too much energy for him. He loves playing with spiky plastic balls, playing chase, and showing off his toys. He likes to sleep on his own bed. Cooper loves meeting other dogs and can get a little distracted when he sees them on walks. Car rides with the window open make him so very happy. Cooper does ok when left alone once he has settled into a new place. He does NOT do ok with loud noises and fireworks and needs to have his emotional support human by his side. This guy is super sweet and friendly and can't wait to stop at the toy store on his way home to start his new collection of favorite toys.

Story
They say that seeing an aurora can change your life. We think that when you meet Aurora you may have the same experience. Your life may never be the same...Aurora may just wiggle and smile her way into your life and change it forever. She is a sweet girl who is in search of a person to travel through life with. Walks, snacks and sniffs are in her future, and she hopes they are experienced by your side. Aurora prefers to not share her resting spots with other animals and because of this she is available as the only pet in her next home.
