Meet Cooper!
Cooper is a handsome, approximately 1-year-old Shepherd mix who weighs around 40 lbs and is hoping to find his forever home. He was found as a stray in Texas and has been waiting at the shelter for nearly two months for his second chance. Despite his uncertain beginnings, Cooper has charmed everyone he meets with his happy, playful, and incredibly affectionate personality. He walks beautifully on a leash and has a heart as big as his frame. He's eager to leave shelter life behind and start his next chapter with a loving family.
Ideal Home
Cooper would thrive in a home that can provide both physical exercise and mental enrichment. A securely fenced yard would be a wonderful outlet for playtime, and due to his activity level, a house setting is preferred over apartment living. He has had limited exposure to children, so we recommend a home with respectful, dog-savvy kids who understand how to appropriately interact with dogs, especially one with Cooper's size and youthful enthusiasm. He would likely enjoy having a playful canine friend, though it is not a requirement. A cat-free home may be best unless his adopters are experienced with slow, proper introductions.
Ongoing Health
Cooper is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, and maintained on monthly preventatives.
Training & Support
Like most young dogs, Cooper is still learning the ropes. He is continuing to work on house training, basic manners, and polite greetings. His future family should be prepared for the typical energy and enthusiasm that comes with an adolescent dog, along with the patience and consistency needed to help him succeed. With structure, guidance, and love, Cooper has all the potential to become a wonderful lifelong companion.
