Smart and affectionate – the ultimate combo of love and liveliness About Cooper’s Breed Mix: Chihuahua mixes are known for their big personalities, deep loyalty, and endless love for their people. They thrive in environments where they feel safe and secure and typically form strong bonds with their primary caregiver. Their alert, intelligent nature makes them quick learners, and their affectionate side means they are just as content cuddled up as they are running around the yard. Cooper shows all these classic traits and more. He’s playful, observant, quick to learn, and once he trusts you, he’s all in – full of snuggles, tail wags, and companionship. Cooper’s Story & Personality: Cooper may have had a rough start in life – possibly due to past mistreatment – but this resilient little guy has come a long way. He’s gone from timid to thriving and is now doing fantastic on walks and with new people, especially when properly introduced on a leash. He warms up faster to women and would do best with a person or family that understands the value of patience and gentle encouragement. Cooper adores other dogs that match his energy and play style and would be happiest with a canine buddy or two, but they must be his size or bigger and around his age. However, he could also thrive as an only dog if given enough enrichment, walks, and attention. Cooper isn’t a fan of crates and becomes anxious if left alone too long, so a home where someone is around most of the time would be ideal. He is house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and enjoys being a couch potato after playtime. His ultra-soft coat makes him extra cuddly – and his charming personality makes him unforgettable. Cooper’s Ideal Home: A patient, loving adopter or family A securely fenced yard for safe play A home with another dog or two his size or larger Someone home more often than not – he doesn’t like being alone for long Older children only, who understand dog boundaries A household that prefers love, cuddles, and a little playful chaos Ready to Bring Home Super Cooper? Cooper is fully vetted, neutered, house-trained, and leash-ready. He’s looking for a forever home where he can continue to grow, feel safe, and be loved like he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a heart full of love and a playful spirit, Cooper might just be your perfect match.
