Cooper

Mixed Breed · Male

09/2026 Cooper, born 1. 11. 2024, neutered, approx. 60-65 cm shoulder height. In foster care in 53547 Breitscheid. Cooper currently lives with his foster family in 53547 Breitscheid, where he is waiting for people who will show him, with patience, understanding and a safe environment, how wonderful a dog's life can be. Cooper is an impressively large male dog – and at the same time a true giant baby. Behind his stately appearance hides an exceptionally gentle, sensitive dog who approaches new situations with great caution at first. Many things still frighten him at the beginning and quickly feel like the "end of the world" to him. But anyone who gives him the time to build trust at his own pace will be rewarded with an incredibly loyal and loving companion. Once Cooper has gained trust, he greatly enjoys the closeness of his people. He likes being petted and cuddled by his primary caregivers and keeps close to them. Anything unfamiliar takes time for him, however – which is why we are hoping for people who expect nothing from him and instead let him settle in peacefully. With other animals, Cooper is absolutely exemplary. Whether dogs, cats, horses, goats or poultry – he meets them all in a friendly and respectful way. He consistently avoids conflict and proves to be an exceptionally social and well-tempered dog. Cooper feels most comfortable in a quiet, rural environment. A home with plenty of space, a large property or perhaps even a farm would be ideal for him. He loves being out and about, accompanying his people and experiencing everyday life together. When he is with his primary caregivers, he reliably stays near them and comes when called. Staying alone is generally not difficult for Cooper. Out of boredom or curiosity, however, he now and then helps himself to objects lying around and happily carries them off. He doesn't do any serious damage in the process, though. For Cooper, we wish for a home with understanding people who appreciate his sensitive nature and give him a sense of security. Anyone looking for a sporty dog who constantly needs action is probably not the right match for Cooper. But anyone who wants a loyal, calm companion with an enormous heart will find a friend for life in him. ✔️ vaccinated ✔️ microchipped ✔️ with EU pet passport The

09/2026 Cooper, geboren 1. 11. 2024 , kastriert, ca. 60-65 cm Schulterhöhe Auf Pflegestelle in 53547 Breitscheid Cooper lebt aktuell auf seiner Pflegestelle in 53547 Breitscheid und wartet dort auf Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem sicheren Umfeld zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Cooper ist ein beeindruckend großer Rüde – und gleichzeitig ein echtes Riesenbaby. Hinter seiner stattlichen Erscheinung verbirgt sich ein ausgesprochen sanfter, sensibler Hund, der neuen Situationen zunächst mit großer Vorsicht begegnet. Vieles macht ihm anfangs noch Angst und wirkt für ihn schnell wie der "Weltuntergang". Doch wer ihm die Zeit gibt, in seinem Tempo Vertrauen aufzubauen, wird mit einem unglaublich treuen und liebevollen Begleiter belohnt. Hat Cooper erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, genießt er die Nähe seiner Menschen sehr. Von seinen Bezugspersonen lässt er sich gerne streicheln und kuscheln und orientiert sich eng an ihnen. Fremdes braucht für ihn jedoch Zeit – deshalb wünschen wir uns Menschen, die nichts von ihm erwarten, sondern ihn in Ruhe ankommen lassen. Mit anderen Tieren zeigt sich Cooper absolut vorbildlich. Ob Hunde, Katzen, Pferde, Ziegen oder Geflügel – er begegnet allen freundlich und respektvoll. Konflikten geht er konsequent aus dem Weg und zeigt sich als ausgesprochen sozialer und verträglicher Hund. Am wohlsten fühlt sich Cooper in einer ruhigen, ländlichen Umgebung. Ein Zuhause mit viel Platz, einem großen Grundstück oder vielleicht sogar einem Hof wäre für ihn ideal. Er liebt es, draußen unterwegs zu sein, seine Menschen zu begleiten und den Alltag gemeinsam zu erleben. Ist er bei seinen Bezugspersonen, bleibt er zuverlässig in ihrer Nähe und kommt, wenn man ihn ruft. Alleine bleiben fällt Cooper grundsätzlich nicht schwer. Aus Langeweile oder Neugier bedient er sich allerdings hin und wieder an herumliegenden Gegenständen und trägt sie gerne davon. Ernsthaften Schaden richtet er dabei jedoch nicht an. Für Cooper wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei verständnisvollen Menschen, die seine sensible Art schätzen und ihm Sicherheit vermitteln. Wer einen sportlichen Hund sucht, der ständig Action braucht, ist bei Cooper eher nicht richtig. Wer sich jedoch einen loyalen, ruhigen Begleiter mit einem riesengroßen Herzen wünscht, wird in ihm einen Freund fürs Leben finden. ✔️ geimpft ✔️ gechippt ✔️ mit EU-Heimtierausweis Die

About Cooper

What life with Cooper looks like

Cooper is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Hope for Future 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 — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Hope for Future 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.
