Meet Cooper. Yes, he has been with us for some time now. He was handed over to us from another rescue earlier this year. After evaluating and having him in 2 different foster homes, the decision was made to put him with a trainer. The awesome trainer was able to breakthrough to Cooper and understand his behavior. He is a large dog in a small dog’s body. He has to work, he has to have a job and he has to know that he is NOT the boss. He has outbursts which can seem like he is attacking but what is happening is he thinks he has to protect himself and his territory. He is very territorial.

His ideal home would consist of a strong disciplined person to be consistent and continue Cooper’s training. An active lifestyle that will include him in outdoor activities. A fenced yard is a necessity for him. No children. He is ok with other dogs but a no go with cats. He gets along with other dogs and that is a plus while trying to expend his energy. HE LOVES THE WATER! Did I mention he loves the water? If you feel like your home is a fit and that you can dedicate your time and energy to Cooper, we encourage you to apply. ONLY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS WILL BE CONSIDERED.

We will do an extensive veterinarian background check, reference check and home visit. We have worked hard to get Cooper where he is now and to understand him, so these qualifications will have to be met to even consider a home for him.
