How do I contact the shelter about Cooper?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GSP Rescue UK 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 — GSP Rescue UK 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 GSP Rescue UK 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 (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.

Cooper

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

07/09/22 This gorgeous youngster is 15 month old Cooper, we believe that he is a GWP/Lurcher cross, on the litters microchip registration the breeder described the litter as Pointer cross Cocker Spaniels, (but we haven’t seen spaniel in any of them that we’ve met, possibly something taller and finer like a Lurcher.) We have also rehomed Coopers brothers Buddy and Freddie from the same litter. Cooper has been living with his mum but she is finding it more difficult to handle his size and energy levels when she was expecting a cocker size dog, so recently he hasn’t had the training and exercise that he needs. Cooper has attended group walks and doggy daycare weekly, where there have been 16-18 dogs of both sexes and all sizes and ages which he loves, the dog walker/owner says, he has never had any problems with him, he is just a very energetic large puppy who has been happy to play with all the other dogs with no issues. Cooper is very excitable on the lead and can jump up to see people walking past, he’s also jumped up and pulled his mums arm while trying to get her to play with him. He’s currently walked on Dogmatic head collar which helps with his pulling because he can be strong when pulling towards another dog to say hello. He has also been known to chew through his lead if allowed. His favourite things are being off lead where he can run around and play with other dogs, playing with his ball and having lots of cuddles. Cooper does suffer with signs of separation anxiety after being with his mum constantly and this has proved difficult for his mum to manage as she lives alone. When meeting new people he is usually fine, but he can be wary of some strangers and could bark and then hide behind his mum until he’s satisfied that they are ok, then he quickly settles. Cooper hasn’t come across many children but he can be too excitable and too playful for many little ones. Regarding cats, the ones that he has met he has tried to chase. He would also chase livestock his owner believes, so careful introductions would be needed. He is neutered and vaccinated until October 2022. He was good off lead and had a good recall but he hasn’t been off lead recently because his owner finds him too boisterous and he can jump up, being a tall strong boy she believes he could knock someone over. He travels well, quickly settling down in the car. Cooper is a very funny, energetic, intelligent youngster who loves long walks and games with other dogs, he is going to need on going obedience training along with enrichment games to tire him out. He would probably enjoy activities like Canicross, agility, man-trailing, scent work etc. Cooper is currently in East Sussex and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria insurance and our Adoption Contract. If you have the time and patients to help this sweet, loving lad reach his true potential please contact us.

About Cooper

What life with Cooper looks like

Cooper is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
