About Me
Hello, everybody! Cooper Here – a 7 1/2-year-old basset – with my latest update. I have really made great progress! I love being around people and will try to get your attention with a “love growl” when I want to be petted. My growls are not aggressive – it’s just how I “talk.”
I will hop up on the sofa, roll over and ask for a belly rub. I am very smart, and I have adjusted well to my current foster family. I love Granny Smith apples and green beans. One of my favorite activities is sitting in the kitchen while the people cook.
I will need a forever family with no young children and no other pets – especially cats – and one that understands how best to work with me. I don’t like negative corrections or raised voices, but calm, quiet voices make me very happy. Thanks to my foster family’s loving care, I have become a great dog.
My foster dad thinks I will make a good dog for the right family, and he feels I am ready to meet my them! I would love a low-stress, chill environment without too many surprises. I might be OK with calm, older children who are respectful of how best to communicate with me.
I also love walks, and I am generally very good on the leash. Foster Dad usually just gently nudges me along when I linger too long in a good sniffing spot. I get along well in crowds and tend to ignore other dogs but gravitate toward people. And car rides are my favorite! When my foster dad is away, he leaves my crate door open and I go in with no whining or fussing.
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. I like to pick up laundry, but when I get ahold of something I’m not supposed to have, my foster dad trades me for something I like even better. Positive reinforcement really works well with me.
If you’re looking for a handsome basset boy and all-around good companion, I sure would like to meet you! I just know my forever family is out there. My foster dad will be happy to tell you all about me.
In return, I promise to love you and let you rub my belly (oh, pleeez rub my belly)! If you have a special place in your heart for a guy like me, contact CBHR and tell them Cooper sent you!
