My story

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

*Meet Cooper - The Sweetest Companion You'll Ever Find!*

Cooper is a calm and gentle 5-year-old black Chihuahua who is looking for a peaceful forever home. Cooper weighs 9#. After his previous owner sadly passed away, Cooper was sent to a local animal shelter. He did not do well in the loud active shelter environment. Now in a foster home, he's proving to be an absolute gem.

Cooper is crate-trained, fully potty-trained, and has impeccable manners. He isn't leash-trained and would do best in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely enjoy the outdoors without the need for leash walks.

Unlike most Chihuahuas, Cooper doesn't bark obsessively and has shown no signs of aggression. He's a laid-back little guy who thrives on companionship and would love nothing more than to curl up by your side.

He's a sweet and sensitive soul, and sometimes when he's excited or scared, he may have a little tinkle. But his loving personality more than makes up for it!

Cooper gets along well with other calm, gentle dogs and would likely do well with cats too. He's the perfect pet for someone looking for a low-maintenance, loving companion who just wants to be loved in return. Due to his small size he will not do well with small children or large rambunctious dogs.

If you're looking for a devoted friend who will always be there with a wagging tail, Cooper is your guy! Could you be the one to give him the safe, loving home he deserves?
Cooper's adoption fee is $325. He is being fostered in St Peters Mo

Additional adoption info

We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.

The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.

All of our dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue

“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”

We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.

We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
