cines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention ​ Good with dogs; untested with cats and kids There are dogs who love you, and then there are dogs like Cooper—who adore you, who worship the ground you walk on, and who will follow you from room to room like you’re made of sunshine and peanut butter. They make you feel like the stars shine just for you. He is not just loyal—he is a Velcro companion who shadows his foster mom like a second heartbeat. Cooper is highly food motivated, impressively trained, and oh is he clever. His training is one of his biggest strengths, and he’s mastered an incredible set of commands that make life with him both fun and easy: ï‚· Heel – he walks right by your side like a total pro ï‚· Sit – the classic gentleman move ï‚· Down – instant snuggle mode ï‚· Stay – he’ll pause patiently until you’re ready ï‚· Come – runs to you with his whole heart ï‚· Paw – the sweetest little handshake ï‚· Spin – his party trick! ï‚· Touch – nose boops on command ï‚· “Look at me” – great for keeping his focus ï‚· Place – sends himself to a mat or bed for calm time ï‚· Center – tucks between your legs like a protective shadow ï‚· Emergency recall – a rock-solid “drop everything and come running” He does beautifully on leash, in the crate, and in the car, and has even joined his foster family on brewery adventures (though he’ll politely decline any invitations involving rain because a soggy Cooper is a sad Cooper). But Cooper’s soul is sensitive, and he has known shadows in his past before he was pulled from a county euthanasia list and given a second chance by LOVEPAWS. He is wary of new people and sudden noises—something as small as a fluttering plastic bag can rattle his nerves. He thrives with structure and gentle guidance. His “place” command gives him a safe, predictable way to meet new guests while he works through his big feelings. With time, patience, and kindness, his heart unfolds—and when it does, the affection flows like warm honey. He’s silly and sweet, playful with his dog friends, but not overly energetic. Cooper prefers to match your vibe—romp when you’re romping, nap when you’re napping, and always be exactly where you are. At 1.75 years old and just 40 pounds, Cooper is a perfectly shrunken-down Pittie mix—equal parts pit bull, Pomeranian (yes, really), bulldog, Rottweiler, and all heart. He’ll melt into you on the couch with a deep sigh of contentment, tucked under a blanket like the precious burrito he knows he is. When cozy, he makes the softest little groans, because comfort is his love language. Cooper gets along with all four of his dog foster siblings. He’s looking for a home without young children but with humans who understand that the deepest love doesn’t always appear in an instant—it grows, slowly and surely, like trust blooming into forever. His tail wags constantly, his eyes sparkle with devotion, and his daily motto is, “If I fits, I sits”—whether that’s in your lap, your heart, or the smallest patch of sunshine on the floor. If you’re seeking a companion who will love you with his whole soul, who finds joy in just being near you, and who sees you as his entire universe—Cooper is waiting with a blanket ready, heart open, tail wagging.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
