Cooper

COOPER is a recent 11 month old surrender who is a gorgeous and adorable low rider Doxie Norwegian Elkhound mix - the previous owners reported and so far we can confirm he's a very friendly pup who loves people and is good with other dogs AND cats. He's just a bit over 25 lbs. The owners had to surrender as they had another older very small dog who his puppy antics were too rough for. He does love to play and also to get attention from people! He's now fully vetted. The only thing they were still working on was that the people they got him from were older people who had trained him to use pee pads indoors for housetraining - they said they had him most of the way trained out of that and he was doing great with regular housetraining,<br/><br/>Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.<br/><br/>Please go to www.secondhanddogrescue.com/apply to apply !<br/><br/>APPLICATION PROCESSING: We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.<br/><br/>IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.<br/><br/>ADOPTION AREA: several hour radius of Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
