My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gary Cooper! His story is a testament to the resilience of these incredible animals. Despite being only about a year old, Gary has been through more than many other senior dogs. First, Gary escaped the shelter's dreaded euthanasia list from a shelter in Los Angeles that is notorious for putting down Pit Bulls.

But not only this. Gary was also burdened with a condition known as a Grade 4 "Luxating Patella." This condition means that one of his kneecaps is severely dislocated. For a young dog like Gary, a future orthopedic surgery is not just a luxury; it is a lifeline to a future filled with joy and play. We will be scheduling this surgery at a later date.

Gary Cooper is not just a dog; he is a symbol of unwavering hope, a reminder of the transformative power of love and compassion. He adores playtime, and despite his apparent disability, he eagerly hops into the car for a new adventure. He is, in every sense, the perfect dog.

His resilient spirit, his boundless love for people, and his preference for similar-sized female doggy companions, will make him an ideal addition to any loving home.

Gary's journey is far from over. He needs a forever family to call his own—a family ready to embrace his spirit, share in his zest for life, and stand by his side as he embarks on a new chapter of health and happiness. The surgery that awaits him is a critical step toward that future, and it's a journey we cannot complete without the public's help. Your support in raising funds for his surgery is paramount. With your generosity, we can ensure that Gary gets the care he needs and deserves. All donations for Gary's surgery can be made on our website at: https://thepittycommittee.org/donate

We urge you to consider adopting Gary Cooper; to open your heart to a dog whose resilience shines brighter than the sun. His love knows no bounds, and he is ready to offer a lifetime of unwavering devotion in return.

Gary Cooper's story is a reminder that every dog, regardless of their past or condition, deserves a chance at a life filled with love and happiness. In him, you'll find a loyal companion, a loving friend, and a living testament to the extraordinary resilience of rescue dogs.

Please, consider adopting Gary Cooper; let's make sure his tale ends with the love and happiness he so richly deserves. Your compassion can change his life forever ♥
