Meet Cooper (VA)

Say hello to 2-year-old Cooper, a charming and energetic 15 lb. rat terrier mix with a heart full of love just waiting to find his forever home! This handsome 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.
