Adopt Cooper

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

General Name: Cooper Gender: male Dog neutered: Yes Travel arrangements neutered Born approximately: 2015/2016 Size approximately: 60 cm Accommodation: Shelter Sighetu since May 2024 Sponsors: No Reserved: No Character The impressive and loving Cooper was somewhat reserved in the past, but this is hardly noticeable anymore. He is gentle and clingy with the women he knows at the public animal shelter. With men, he still reacts a bit shyly. We are sure that Cooper will be a loyal companion if given a chance and allowed to settle in with patience and calmness. He is friendly with other dogs. Compatibility with cats can be tested. Background Probably comes from the street or was abandoned there. Notes The parent animals are unknown, so no information can be provided about the included breeds.

Allgemein Name: Cooper Geschlecht: Rüde Kastriert: Bei Ausreise kastriert Geboren ca. : 2015/2016 Größe ca. : 60 cm Aufenthaltsort: Shelter Sighetu seit Mai 2024 Paten: nein reserviert: nein Charakter Der imposante und liebevolle Cooper war in der Vergangenheit etwas zurückhaltend, doch dies merkt man kaum mehr. Er ist sanft und anhänglich bei den ihn bekannten Frauen im öffentlichen Tierheim. Bei Männern reagiert er noch etwas schüchtern. Wir sind uns sicher, dass Cooper ein treuer Begleiter wird, wenn man ihm eine Chance gibt und ihn mit Geduld und Ruhe bei sich ankommen lässt. Mit anderen Hunden ist er freundlich. Eine Verträglichkeit mit Katzen kann getestet werden. Vergangenheit Vermutlich kommt er von der Straße oder wurde dort ausgesetzt. Hinweise Die Elterntiere sind nicht bekannt, sodass zu den enthaltenen Rassen keine Auskunft gegeben werden kann.

About Cooper

What life with Cooper looks like

Cooper is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. in Dorsten.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. 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 — Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. 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 Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. 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 (DE). 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.
