Cooper's Story

COOPER (watch my video!)<br/><br/>Male, neutered<br/><br/>2 years old<br/><br/>Pit bull terrier<br/><br/>40 lbs.<br/><br/>Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention ​<br/><br/>Good with dogs; untested with cats and kids<br/><br/>Meet Cooper — Your Pocket-Sized Velcro Buddy & Professional Shadow<br/><br/>There are dogs who like their people... and then there’s Cooper. Cooper doesn’t just love you — he adopts you back. Once you’re his person, congratulations: you now have a loyal companion who follows you from room to room, supervises every activity, and firmly believes personal space is a myth invented by cats.<br/><br/>Snuggling is Cooper’s primary love language. Sitting? He’s next to you. Lying down? Already there. Standing in the kitchen for 12 seconds? He’s glued to your leg like emotional-support Velcro. If sunshine hits the floor, he will find it. If a blanket exists, he will claim it. And if you say, “If I fits, I sits,” Cooper simply replies, “Correct.”<br/><br/>At just 40 pounds, Cooper is the perfectly compact pittie mix — a delightful blend of pit bull, bulldog, Rottweiler, Pomeranian (yes, really), and 100% heart.<br/><br/>Brains, Training & Treat Power<br/><br/>Cooper is professionally trained and very proud of it. He’s highly food-motivated, eager to please, and loves showing off his skills like the little overachiever he is. He does great on leash, in the crate, and in the car — basically, he’s ready for life with you.<br/><br/>His impressive résumé includes:<br/><br/>• Sit, Down & Stay (polite gentleman behavior)<br/><br/>• Come (runs to you like you’re his whole world — because you are)<br/><br/>• Paw (the cutest handshake you’ll ever receive)<br/><br/>• Spin (his signature party trick)<br/><br/>• Touch (nose boops on command)<br/><br/>• “Look at me” (excellent focus, even when life is distracting)<br/><br/>• Heel (walks right by your side like a total pro)<br/><br/>• Place (sends himself to a mat or bed to chill)<br/><br/>• Center (tucks between your legs like a tiny bodyguard)<br/><br/>• Emergency Recall — yell “COOOOOPER!” and watch him drop everything and come sprinting<br/><br/>Quirks & Character<br/><br/>New situations earn Cooper a curious side-eye — and yes, sometimes a fluttering plastic bag is very suspicious. Thankfully, his training gives him built-in, predictable tools to help him navigate the big, scary world with growing confidence.<br/><br/>With time, patience and kindness, Cooper’s heart unfolds — and when it does, the affection flows like warm honey. With gentle guidance and reassurance, he gains confidence quickly, and once he decides you’re safe... it’s game over. You now have a full-time cuddle bug with a goofy streak and a heart made entirely of marshmallows.<br/><br/>Ideal Lifestyle<br/><br/>Cooper is playful but not over-the-top energetic. He prefers to match your vibe:<br/><br/>• Netflix? He’s in.<br/><br/>• Naps? Already snoring.<br/><br/>• Light playtime or zoomies? Let’s go.<br/><br/>He’s happiest just being near his people, soaking up affection and existing as your loyal little shadow.<br/><br/>Best Home Match<br/><br/>Cooper is looking for a calm, cozy household that enjoys a quieter lifestyle and understands that snuggling is an elite activity. He may need a moment to warm up — but once he does, his love is deep, devoted, and endless. This is a dog who bonds hard and loves harder.<br/><br/>If you’re searching for a companion who will adore you with his whole soul, steal your blankets, follow you everywhere, and make your house feel infinitely warmer — Cooper is ready.<br/><br/>His tail never stops wagging, his eyes sparkle with devotion and he’s waiting with a blanket ready, heart wide open, and zero respect for personal space.<br/><br/>Interested in adopting?
