Super Cooper (Toby’s Brother From Another Mother ) has an owner who wants to share his story. “Cooper is a very sweet, smart guy who became our furry family member after he was dumped on our property two years ago. We had lots of land and lots of property and he loved running all over the place with his dog siblings. Unfortunately, we’ve had to move to a much smaller location and even worse our entire fence was destroyed in recent storms and we don’t have the money to fix it so we’re having to find homes for all of our dogs. We want them to have better lives than we can give right now Cooper's energy level alternates depending on the situation - it’s been 8-9 recently because we haven’t had the time to spend with him, but really when he gets regular exercise and some playtime, he settles down and just absolutely loves to cuddle like a bear. Cooper loves to sit in your lap, give kisses and hugs and ride in cars. He will be your velcro dog for sure! He barks at anyone new but once he knows that you are okay with them, then he is okay. He has never been aggressive. He just has a good solid bark. Cooper has always had dog friends to play with, he was the shadow of Our female Shepherd mix, but is also fine with our male Pyrenees. It would be great to find him a home with at least one other dog because he’s always had canine companions. We are so sad to have to rehome our dogs, but it might be meant to be because they do love running around outside, but they sure won’t turn away a nice home with the air conditioning blasting cuddling on the sofa, watching TV or movies and maybe trying to sneak one of your snacks or maybe two! Since we learned the hard way that our dogs are not really meant for livestock, we reached out to DASH to help them find more suburban homes where they could be indoors more, but get all the attention they deserve. All the love you give Cooper he will pay back 1000 fold. He’s a true blue buddy dog and a faithful friend. He’s loving and loyal. I’m just an all-around terrific Australian Shepherd for a loving family.

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD. Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION. Our goal is to help our puppies and dogs find FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES, NOT TO MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR YOU TO ADOPT.
