Description:
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Cooper is a mixed-breed dog who is 6yo, weighs 45lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, but is not microchipped. Cooper sits for treats, and knows 'come' and 'stay. He's initially nervous during car rides, but eventually calms down. He dislikes/fears the vet, baths, and nail trims. Cooper is somewhere between a couch potato and veryt active. He is happy to lay on the couch next to you but loves walks and play time. Cooper does have a sister who is also available for adoption; they could go together, as they are a bonded pair, or separately. Neither dog has had the opportunity to be around children so I cannot speak to that. Cooper is fine to be left at home for a couple of hours at a time, or even a short workday." Cooper's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "Living situation has changed with no one home all day to care for him." Lunge Incident: In May 2022, Cooper lunged at a family friend; the skin wasn't broken, no medical attention was needed, and animal control was not involved. Cooper's guardian explains: "Cooper has always been protective of my other dog (who is also available for adoption, Bailey, either together or separately). The friend was playing and petting and scratching Cooper when Bailey came up from behind and Cooper reacted to protect Bailey." Cooper's guardian offers a brief a medical history: Cooper had an ear infection only one time and it was treated and resolved. Cooper's guardian states the following regarding children: Cooper has lived only with older children, so his guardian recommends his living with older children, stating "Just not sure. In walks he gets very barky with people (especially children and other dogs)". Cooper's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Cooper lives with his bonded canine sibling, Bailey, but Cooper's guardian doesn't recommend his living with other dogs, stating "On walks becomes very barky. Never had the opportunity to play with other dogs". Cooper's guardian states the following regarding cats: Cooper hasn't lived with or otherwise been around cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats. Cooper's guardian describes him as follows: Playful Affectionate Protective Indoor dog House-Trained Likes men Likes women Separation anxiety Cooper's guardian described his ideal future home: "In my opinion, the ideal family for Cooper would be a family with older children and those who have time to play and walk."
