About Me
Ahoy, everyone! It’s me, Cooper. I returned to CBHR last year because my adoption didn’t work out, but I ended up with a great foster family. An update: I’m now 9 ½ years old and I hope really want to find my true forever home. My foster mom takes me to the beach every day – and when she can’t, Foster Dad does. Let me tell you, I am one happy coastal hound!
I still have some quirks, one of which is that I tend to communicate with soft growls. I’m not being aggressive, just trying to talk. I also have to be sedated for nail trims, ear cleanings and other vet procedures that invade my personal space.
I respond best to calm voices and gentle, hands-off correction, but I also really love attention and belly rubs from humans. I can be easily startled. I’m also particular about where I am touched while I am being groomed, and I don’t like to be picked up with both hands.
My ideal forever family will have no young children and no other pets – especially cats – and people who understand my quirks. I don’t like high-stress situations.
I get along great with adults, and I really enjoy greeting strangers and delivery drivers. I follow commands to sit and come, although I prefer just rolling over to get my belly rubbed. I love my toys, and I have fun playing keep-away with people.
I also love walks, and I am generally very good on the leash, although I don’t like it when you pull on my harness to redirect me. Just nudge me along and go with my flow – I’m a hound, I like to take in all the smells.
Car rides are my favorite, but I do like a ramp to help me into the car.
I am fully housebroken and I am at a healthy weight – although you shouldn’t leave food on the counter, because I can reach it and I do love my groceries. In general, when I get ahold of something I’m not supposed to have, my foster dad trades me for something I like even better.
This is Cooper, signing out for now! Keep checking back on me, and reach out if you’d like to know more about me!
