My story

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

Meet Cooper aka Toot Toot aka Toot Bagoot aka Tooter
Cooper was basically born and raised in the shelter system so everything is new to him, he's still learning what stairs are and what the big moving screen that talks to him is. He also loves to look at the handsome dog in the mirror. Tooter has nothing but love to give. The best way to describe Toot toot is a bull in a China shop. Your personal space is his personal space. Your spot on the couch is his spot on the couch. Fancy decorations? Oh you mean those things in his way! Toot is completely potty trained and listens very well! He knows sit, and down and is good in a kennel. Cooper's FAVORITE thing is soft stuffed toys and will definitely make your home look like a winter wonderland with stuffing. He is still learning about those small stick things attached to human arms and that those are in fact part of the human and not part of the treat or toy, but Cooper is a smart boy!
Toot has never met a stranger with 2 legs or 4 legs, but since Cooper is a puppy in an adult dogs body, people his size may not be the best choice for him.
Cooper has a heart of gold and just wants to please people and give you all the kisses (and maybe nibble on your toes a little). We know the right home is out there for our boy but 3 years in a shelter is too long. Do you think you're up for a sweet hyper house piggy? Apply for the Bagoot today, he's waiting for you.
