COOPER

Pomeranian · Male · Young · 3 years

Our Cooper is a 4-year-old male Pomeranian. He is not neutered, weighs approximately 4.4 kg and has a shoulder height of about 25 cm. Cooper came to our shelter because his previous owner could no longer devote enough time to him after a separation. Cooper shows himself to be a friendly, people-oriented and cuddly little dog who also enjoys playing. In new situations and with unfamiliar people, he can initially be a bit shy and reserved. Once he has gained trust, he likes to seek the proximity of his caregivers. However, some tact is required with strangers. Cooper does not like to be touched without permission and can also snap in such situations. His future owners should respect his boundaries, attentively read his body language and give him the necessary time to initiate contact himself. In principle, we can also imagine Cooper in a family. Children in the new home are conceivable, but they should already be mature enough to treat a dog respectfully and give him retreat options. Cooper usually gets along well with character-matching congeners. Whether the chemistry with an existing dog works out would have to be tested in an individual case when getting to know each other. We currently do not know how he reacts to cats or small animals. According to his previous owner, Cooper can also stay alone for short periods. We wish Cooper loving people who enjoy a small, affectionate companion, but at the same time convey clear boundaries and security to him. Especially in contact with strangers, calm and positive work should continue with him. Cooper's dense Pomeranian coat requires regular and intensive grooming. His future owners should therefore plan sufficient time for thorough brushing and grooming his coat. The breed is a Qualzucht, so problems and diseases are to be expected.

Unser Cooper ist ein etwa 4 Jahre alter Zwergspitz-Rüde. Er ist nicht kastriert, wiegt ungefähr 4,4 kg und hat eine Schulterhöhe von etwa 25 cm. Zu uns ins Tierheim kam Cooper, da sein Vorbesitzer nach einer Trennung nicht mehr ausreichend Zeit für ihn hatte. Cooper zeigt sich bei uns als zutraulicher, menschenbezogener und verschmuster kleiner Rüde, der auch gerne spielt. In neuen Situationen und gegenüber unbekannten Menschen kann er zunächst etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend sein. Hat er Vertrauen gefasst, sucht er gerne die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen. Bei fremden Menschen ist allerdings etwas Fingerspitzengefühl gefragt. Cooper möchte nicht ungefragt angefasst werden und kann in solchen Situationen auch schnappen. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten seine Grenzen respektieren, seine Körpersprache aufmerksam lesen und ihm die nötige Zeit geben, selbst Kontakt aufzunehmen. Grundsätzlich können wir uns Cooper auch in einer Familie vorstellen. Kinder im neuen Zuhause sind denkbar, sollten jedoch bereits verständig genug sein, respektvoll mit einem Hund umzugehen und ihm Rückzugsmöglichkeiten zu lassen. Mit charakterlich passenden Artgenossen zeigt sich Cooper meist verträglich. Ob die Chemie mit einem bereits vorhandenen Hund stimmt, müsste jedoch im Einzelfall bei einem Kennenlernen getestet werden. Wie er auf Katzen oder Kleintiere reagiert, ist uns derzeit nicht bekannt. Laut seinem Vorbesitzer kann Cooper auch für kurze Zeit alleine bleiben. Für Cooper wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen, die Freude an einem kleinen, anhänglichen Begleiter haben, ihm aber gleichzeitig klare Grenzen und Sicherheit vermitteln. Gerade im Kontakt mit fremden Menschen sollte weiterhin ruhig und positiv mit ihm gearbeitet werden. Coopers dichtes Spitzfell benötigt eine regelmäßige und intensive Fellpflege. Seine zukünftigen Halter sollten deshalb ausreichend Zeit für gründliches Bürsten und die Pflege seines Fells einplanen. Bei der Rasse handelt es sich um eine Qualzucht, mit Problemen und Erkrankungen ist zu rechnen. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About COOPER

What life with COOPER looks like

COOPER is a small young adult pomeranian dog waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

An young 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. 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. Tierschutzverein München 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 — Tierschutzverein München 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 Tierschutzverein München 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.
