Cooper

Cooper is a sweet, gentle boy who loves his favorite people and is always looking for a good time-whether that is play or comfy hangtime. He may get overwhelmed in new environments and with new people, but with reassurance and guidance he is open to living his life to the fullest. He loves his dog friends but benefits well from proper introductions to be able to feel confident.<br/><br/><br/>Feedback from outings with volunteer(s):<br/><br/>*****<br/>"Cooper was my pick given his excellent behavior at Purgatory Flats in the snow last Tuesday. This time we were taking him for a longer but much warmer hike in Sand Canyon. <br/><br/>It was a long ride past Cortez but he behaved beautifully.

He was comfortable with the other two dogs and our little group of 6 humans. Even if he strayed away from the trail at times, he was always very obedient and returned to it as told. I gave him plenty of time to sniff before catching up with the rest of the group. <br/><br/>A few times, one friend threw a few treats in Cooper's direction and leapt, catching them expertly.<br/>You go Cooper!<br/><br/>We crossed paths with other unleashed dogs that Cooper greeted without any problems. Sweet!<br/>He was also on his best behavior when we stopped for lunch. He sat, out of our hair, patiently waiting and minding his own business. <br/><br/>He seemed happy to be back in the parking lot after an 8 mile hike. He snoozed pretty much the whole way back to the shelter where his female roommate Umi was expecting him. <br/><br/>Another delightful experience with a 2 year old handsome and loving pup, waiting for his forever home."<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>"I was offered to take Cooper out for an outing. I was briefed on his temperament and told that he should be good with other dogs after a proper introduction. So off we went.<br/><br/>Cooper surprised me on the ride to Purgatory. He was calm and enjoyed looking out the back window, seated, looking pretty.<br/><br/>One member had brought her dog, an 11 year old well-mannered and active pup. The introduction went well. Cooper did not make any fuss, obediently leading me down the trail gently. He did not mind the trail leash, stopped once in a while to sniff. Cooper proved confident and friendly within the group.<br/><br/>With a dog like Cooper, hiking is an enhanced pleasure."<br/><br/>Come and meet Cooper today!
