COOPER - PIT BULL TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: 410.00. COOPER (watch my video!) Male, neutered 2 years old Pit bull terrier 40 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines 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:  Heel – he walks right by your side like a total pro  Sit – the classic gentleman move  Down – instant snuggle mode  Stay – he’ll pause patiently until you’re ready  Come – runs to you with his whole heart  Paw – the sweetest little handshake  Spin – his party trick!  Touch – nose boops on command  “Look at me” – great for keeping his focus  Place – sends himself to a mat or bed for calm time  Center – tucks between your legs like a protective shadow  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.
