Cooper is about a year old and weighs 55 lbs. He spent most of his life at a rural shelter in Oklahoma and the shelter recently turned into a kill shelter so he was slated to be euthanized. He came to the shelter with his siblings and the workers there told me they know where they came from and that the momma was a border collie but daddy is unknown so I am just guessing that it may have been a pit bull based on Cooper's looks. 'But he has a long, fluffy tail and dew claws so who knows.
All of his siblings were adopted a few months ago and all went to Washington State so I couldn't let him be the only one who didn't make it out alive. Everyone who adopted or fostered one of the siblings absolutely adored them and Cooper's foster also only has good things to say about him. He is in a foster home with 2 other dogs and while I was with me in the rescue he was around dozens of dogs of all sizes. He was fine with cats here but displayed some reactivity to cats so we're going to say that he has to go to a cat free home. He is laid back and chill but can be active so whether you want to veg out on the couch or hike up Mount Si, he will be right by your side. Due to being in the shelter most of his life, he is not used to big human noises yet so when the foster's neighbors had a big party in their yard with lots of noise, he was a bit triggered by that but this was his first time ever being around anything like that so with time and patience he will get used to all human noises but it would be he probably wouldn't be a good fit if you throw big parties on a regular basis.
He went through a 10 week training program at a prison and comes with a manual about what he was taught there.
