Meet Cooper

Cooper is a cheerful, affectionate companion who thrives on human companionship, gentle trail walks, and evening snuggles.

Cooper arrived at Austin Pets Alive! after his previous owner had to relocate to non-pet housing. He has been a model guest in his foster home, getting along effortlessly with other dogs and enjoying backyard fetch sessions. He is house-trained, rides calmly in the car, and greets everyone with a gentle tail wag.
