Story
Freddy is my sweet sweet baby. We saved him with intention to fostered him in 2021. I picked him up from a boarded up junkyard when he was about 4 months old. His parents were there- a Siberian husky and American bulldog- they watched us leave. It was heartbreaking. My husband and I are military part time and federal employees full time. Between being gone on military orders and traveling for work; Freddy is just not as happy as he deserves. We don’t crate Freddy although he is crate trained. He has free range of the house and never messes with anything and doesn’t have accidents unless he is sick. Freddy doesn’t bark, he has a cough- although he has accidentally barked before and scared himself. He is very smart. I had him in obedience classes from 4 to 24 months, he always did very well. We continued sessions at parks and stores wifh a trainer where he also did very well. His behavior depends on his mood sometimes he chooses to be more distracted. He’s a great kid loving dog.

Story
Meet Timber Boy! Sweet Timber was abandoned at a local Metropark in the pouring rain! He is only about 6 months old and is approximately 35 lbs. We are guessing him to be a Corso mix. Timber has the sweetest personality and is a good mix of playful energy and sleepy, lazy, clumsy puppy! Timber loves all people including children and other dogs and even cats! He can be a lot of for small kids right now, as he is just learning his manners, like learning not to jump and learning not to nip and mouth He is very smart and eager to learn, and is very treat motivated! He is potty trained and crate trained! Timber is very playful, loves his toys and bones and loves playing outside! He is in a foster home with other dogs and cats and loves the interaction! Timber would need an active family or fenced in yard,. Because he is considered a large breed dog, he also needs a family committed to his training so he knows what is and is not acceptable puppy behavior. If you are ready to add this sweet puppy boy to your family, please click on the link below and fill out an application. https://www.coopersafeplace.org/application-page Timber’s adoption fee is $450.00 and due on the day of adoption.
