Story
Cooper is ready to travel to a community that will truly cherish him as a family member. He is currently in Oklahoma at our rescue. Because we want his transition to be as smooth as possible, we arrange direct-to-adopter transport to specific cities (listed below!).
Adoptions are finalized in advance so that Cooper can hop off the transport and right into your waiting arms. We stand by our pups for life—in the rare event it isn't a perfect match, Cooper is never without a safety net; he will simply return to our care in Oklahoma on the next available transport until his perfect home is found.
Meet Cooper: The Ultimate Adventure Partner!
Breed: 33% Australian Shepherd, 21% Mini Australian Shepherd, 20% Rat Terrier, and 8 other smaller breeds at 10% or less.
Age: 1.5 – 2 Years Old
Weight: 36 lbs (The perfect medium size!)
Personality: High Energy / People-Oriented
Ready, Set, Cooper!
If you are looking for a dog with brains, beauty, and a motor that never quits, meet Cooper. This stunning young man is at that perfect age where he’s finished with puppyhood but has all the "go-go-go" you could ever want in a companion.
With his striking tricolor coat and those alert, intelligent ears, Cooper is a head-turner. But he’s more than just a pretty face—he’s a smart, focused boy who is ready for a job, a hike, or a long game of fetch.
Cooper’s Highlights:
• A People Person: Cooper genuinely enjoys the company of humans. He is friendly, attentive, and eager to please his people.
• Family Potential: We think he would do fine with children, and we are happy to test him with kids upon request to ensure a perfect match.
• Travel Ready: Whether it’s a trip to the local trail or a weekend getaway, Cooper is an excellent passenger. He rides quietly and calmly in the car.
• Leash Skills: He’s already ahead of the game! Cooper knows how to walk on a leash, making him a great partner for daily walks or jogs.
• Athletic & Agile: At 36 lbs, he is lean, fast, and agile. He would likely excel in agility training, frisbee, or any activity that challenges his mind and body.
The Ideal Home:
Cooper has been spending his time recently in a barn setting, so he is still learning the ropes of indoor life. While we aren’t sure if he’s fully housebroken yet (housebroken selected when listing, “unknown” means “no” to Petfder), his breed mix is famously intelligent and quick to learn routines.
In typical herding dog fashion, Cooper does like to chase small animals, including cats (OK with cats selected, “unknown” means “no” with Petfinder). However, he never shows aggression or tries to hurt them; he truly seems to just want to play! Because he is a high-energy "working" breed mix, he isn’t a couch potato. He is looking for an active family or individual who understands the needs of herding breeds—someone who will provide him with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a "job" to do.
Are you ready to add some high-speed joy to your life? Cooper is waiting to meet his new best friend!

Health & Wellness
Cooper is a healthy boy and will arrive at his new home fully "vetted" and ready for a fresh start!
His adoption includes:
Fully Vetted: Chico is already neutered and up-to-date on all his essential vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella).
Prevention: He has been dewormed and is kept on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Tested heartworm negative on April 29.
Safety First: To ensure he is in tip-top shape for his new family, he will be microchipped and receive a fresh fecal exam and a certified Health Certificate—all performed within 10 days of his transport date.
Adoption Details
Cooper’s adoption fee is $700. This fee is all-inclusive, covering his neuter, all veterinary care listed above, and his seat on a professional transport service dedicated to getting him safely to your area.
