HELP ‼️ Meet Cooper 🐾 Cooper came in as a stray and quickly won hearts with his love for butt scratches and his perfect leash manners. He’s a sweet, easy-going boy who enjoys being close to his people and is dog friendly too. ✨ About Cooper: • Walks beautifully on a leash • LOVES butt scratches • Dog friendly • Gentle personality Cooper is not a fan of nail trims (many dogs feel the same!) and can sometimes be a little wobbly with his balance, but he keeps going with a happy attitude and just wants love and comfort. He deserves a calm, patient home where he can relax, feel safe, and enjoy the good life he’s been waiting for. PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152
