Cooper

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Meet Cooper, a lovely boy who has travelled all the way from Romania to begin his new life and search for his forever home. He is a sweet boy who was extremely overwhelmed when he first arrived. Although he is still feeling quite overwhelmed to find himself here and can be very worried, especially in new situations, he is making good progress, especially with those people he knows. He was initially very worried when he first met new people, but his circle of friends has grown and he is making more human friends daily. With his favourite people, he is a friendly, affectionate boy. Cooper will be looking for a home with adopters with experience of scared rescue dogs and though not essential, experience with Romanian rescue dogs would be a bonus. He would be happiest in a calm, quiet, adult only home where he can settle in at his own pace and continue building his confidence. Cooper would be best suited to a home in a rural or semi-rural location and would prefer to go for walks in quiet areas. He will need a secure garden with 6ft fences. Cooper is especially worried when he finds himself in new or unfamiliar areas, and busy environments with lots of noise, people and hustle and bustle can feel particularly overwhelming for him. He finds visiting the front of the rescue and reception area quite daunting, where there is more activity and unfamiliar sights and sounds. However, when he is given the chance to spend time in a quieter, open yard, he is much more relaxed and happy, showing us that he does best when he has space and a calm environment around him. Cooper absolutely adores other dogs and takes great comfort from having canine friends around him, so he will need another kind, confident and playful resident dog in his new home to be his companion and show him the ropes. He is also beginning to discover the joy of toys and is enjoying learning how to play, which is so sweet. He has met cats at the rescue fine, and we may consider homing him with a dog-savvy cat. As Cooper has never lived in a home before, his adopters will need to be patient, kind and understanding while he settles in and learns all about home life, including new skills like house training. He is very much a beginner when it comes to walking on a lead and harness, but he is already starting to enjoy his walks and would love an active home where he can continue exploring the world at his own pace. With patience, understanding and plenty of love, Cooper will start to discover just how wonderful his life can now be. In return, this gentle boy will reward his family with the privilege of watching him blossom into the happy and loved companion he was always meant to be. He will require multiple meet and greets with his potential adopters to give him plenty of time to get comfortable with his new family. He is currently being monitored for left back leg lameness, and has a potential soft tissue injury. He will continue to be monitored by our vets for any further treatment he may need. He has tested negative prior to arrival for heartworm, lyme disease, ehrlichia, anaplasma, giardia, leishmania and brucellosis. Cooper has a passport. This dog can be homed with a resident dog. This dog can be homed with cats.
