ome boy is a lively companion who thrives on outdoor walks and playtime. Whether it's chasing after his favorite toys, starting a tug-o-war, or engaging in wrestling matches with his familiar canine pals, Cooper is always ready to go. He does have some quirks, however. Cooper may take a little time to warm up to new faces, then his true personality shines through when he's ready. Because it takes him some time to be comfortable with big noises or movements, we suggest no kids in his new home. With the right adults, a little patience, and a gentle approach, he'll soon be your little shadow and become your devoted best friend. Cooper has some separation anxiety that often results in barking when left alone, so he probably isn't ready for apartment living. He can also be reactive when he sees bigger dogs out on walks, so a quiet neighborhood would be his preference. Cooper is picky about his canine companions. The 6-month-old small puppy staying in his foster home is a favorite playmate, while other dogs may not get along as well. He is learning to respect the space of the middle-aged dog in his foster home by gravitating more toward his human caretakers for play. Already a good leash walker, Cooper is ready for almost any activity outside, but his new family should be prepared to keep up training and socialization for meeting new people and dogs. He should be able to manage his reactivity with practice. He's completely house-trained and sleeps well in a crate near you. He loves car rides, and he's a perfect co-pilot for errands and road trips. This guy wants to be on the go with you. If you're ready to open your home and heart to a loving, playful, and adventurous companion, Cooper is eagerly waiting to meet you. For more photos, check out .imagevent/newrattitude/cooper .

  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.
