Adopt COOPER

Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 7 years

COOPER is an adorable 8-year-old Bull Terrier who arrived at our shelter alongside his faithful companion HEXE, following a neglect case. Despite their past, these two are incredibly affectionate, gentle, and a pleasure to live with. On walks, COOPER is a true gentleman: he doesn't pull on the leash and enjoys calm strolls at his human's pace. Very attached to HEXE, they have always lived together and share a beautiful bond. In an ideal situation, we would love to see them go to the same home, but all applications will be carefully considered. COOPER can get along with other dogs and shows no aggression towards cats, making him an easy companion to integrate into many environments. Today, COOPER deserves a second chance: a loving, patient, and kind family ready to finally give him the life he deserves.

COOPER est un adorable Bull Terrier de 8 ans, arrivé au refuge aux côtés de sa fidèle compagne HEXE, suite à un retrait pour négligence. Malgré leur passé, ce sont deux loulous incroyablement affectueux, doux et agréables à vivre. En balade, COOPER est un vrai gentleman : il ne tire pas en laisse et apprécie les promenades calmes, au rythme de son humain. Très attaché à HEXE, ils ont toujours vécu ensemble et partagent une belle complicité. Dans l’idéal, nous aimerions les voir partir dans le même foyer, mais toutes les candidatures seront étudiées avec attention. COOPER peut s’entendre avec d’autres chiens et ne montre aucune agressivité envers les chats, ce qui en fait un compagnon facile à intégrer dans de nombreux environnements. Aujourd’hui, COOPER mérite une seconde chance : une famille aimante, patiente et bienveillante, prête à lui offrir enfin la vie qu’il mérite.

About COOPER

What life with COOPER looks like

COOPER is a adult bull terrier dog waiting at SPA Colmar in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting COOPER, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about COOPER?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Colmar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw COOPER on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt COOPER if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Colmar will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is COOPER already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if COOPER isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Colmar early rather than rehoming privately; they know COOPER and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
