My story

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

Meet Cooper!

Cooper is a 7 year old German Short Haired Pointer. He's medium large in size, and is just the sweetest old boy you could ever imagine.

Cooper was surrendered to the Kamloops Branch through no fault of his own. He was then transferred all the way to the Sunshine Coast Branch, where he currently is, through the drive-for-lives program. He can be a little bit shy at first, but he warms up to people quickly.

Cooper may be a little older, but he has lots of energy still, and is a strong dog. He has been known to enjoy chasing cats, and though we haven't seen this behaviour, it is worth noting that reactivity to other dogs is mentioned in his file. Due to these points, Cooper is best suited to be the only pet in the home.

This intelligent, sweet boy has so much love to give. He is a world class snuggler, and would love nothing more than to relax beside you at home on a rainy day. Cooper gets excited when he makes new friends or recognizes an old friend, and will do the most adorable tippy tap dance to signal his happiness! He's the cutest.

** Cooper had a dental surgery on Nov 29th, and is awaiting a recheck on Dec 13th, so he is not quite ready for adoption yet. He is available for Foster-To-Adopt until he gets his medical clearance post-surgery! **

If you feel you could offer Cooper a peaceful, loving retirement, please follow the steps below to apply for adopt.
