Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cooper is a 7 year old Maltese Shi tzu who enjoys going on walks and taking naps in his bed. He isn’t the most social dog and doesn’t always like to be picked up or hugged, but he does appreciate kind words and treats. Cooper loves to be with everyone as long as no one gets in his personal bubble, and is known to snuggle with you on his own time as long as its not forced. He has bitten someone before and has some separation anxiety, so we suggest taking him on walks so he can be with you and to use up some of his energy so he is calmer. We need to find Cooper a new home because he doesn’t like his older brother (a very social, loving dog) and is aggressive towards him. In order for maximum happiness he asks for a home with no children or other pets. Cooper likes to be with people, even if he doesn’t interact with them, and may bark if he sees you leave. He can be a very good friend and would love a calm home and family to be with.
