Meet Cooper — a true dapper gentleman with a heart of gold and legs for days. 🖤✨
At 10 years young, Cooper is a charming Chihuahua mix who has known love his entire life. He spent all of his years with the same devoted family until life took an unexpected turn. When his human dad was diagnosed with cancer, it became too difficult to care for Cooper, and he was heartbreakingly surrendered to the shelter. We’re certain this decision was made with immense love — and just as much sadness. Shelter staff instantly fell for Cooper’s sweet nature and distinguished good looks and reached out to us for help. Seniors often struggle in shelter environments, and this little guy deserved something far better: a warm lap, soft blankets, and gentle snuggles while waiting for his forever family. Cooper was adopted and spent six months in a home before recently being returned. While that’s never the outcome we hope for, we believe it’s important to be fully transparent so we can find Cooper the truly right forever match.
Ideal Home
Cooper can sometimes be nippy with strangers if they try to pick him up suddenly, and he’s scared of the vacuum. With people Cooper knows and trusts, he is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and loving. Once he feels safe, he melts into you for kisses and cuddles and just wants to be close to his person. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, is excellent with cats, and charms nearly everyone he meets.
Ongoing Health
In very typical senior Chihuahua fashion, sometimes when he pees, it shoots forward and hits his front leg. 😅
