📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process.

Story
Cooper Age: 2 years Breed: Golden Retriever Status: Available for the right, very experienced home Cooper is not your typical golden retriever — and that’s exactly what makes him special. He is confident, driven, and highly engaged with his handler. Cooper thrives with structure, clear expectations, and purposeful interaction. He loves to work, enjoys training, and is happiest when he knows what’s being asked of him. Cooper has a solid training foundation. He understands leash work, has a reliable climb/place command, and responds well to clear leadership. He enjoys tug, will happily work for his food, and brings enthusiasm and intensity to play. This is not a couch-potato golden — he’s a dog who wants a job and a relationship built on clarity and consistency. Because of his strong personality, Cooper needs an experienced owner who is comfortable providing structure and maintaining boundaries. While he gets along well with other dogs, he would do best in a one-dog household where routines, resources, and leadership can be kept clean and predictable. He is not well suited for a busy family environment or a home with children. In the right home, Cooper is an exceptional partner: intelligent, athletic, focused, and deeply connected to his person. He is the kind of dog who will give everything to someone who understands him and appreciates what makes him different. Franklin is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. Petconnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system. For more information, please email Katherine at kberger@petconnectrescue.org. **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
