COOPER - M
AGE: ~ 10 Months Old
WEIGHT: 57 lbs
BREED: Cinnamon Toast Spud
Meet Cooper! Cooper was adopted from our organization as a puppy, but he is now looking for a new family. His owner is going through a difficult time and felt that keeping Cooper would not be in his best interest, so they made the decision to return him to our care. Now Cooper is waiting for the golden ticket every rescue dog hopes for…a permanent forever home.
Cooper had a difficult start to life. As a small puppy, he came into rescue with his five littermates after being kept in a barn with chickens and suffering from a significant case of mange. Once they received proper medical care, nutrition and plenty of TLC, their transformation was nothing short of amazing.
Cooper is now understandably confused by his return to the shelter, and we’re learning that he is quite fearful. He’s still very overwhelmed after being with us for a few days, but he is already giving us glimpses of the playful, happy boy underneath it all. If you’re lucky, you’ll even catch him giving you his adorable smile, which makes it very hard not to smile back at him.
We are told that Cooper enjoys playing with other dogs, though we will want to introduce him to any potential canine siblings thoughtfully. Cats are unknown. Cooper previously lived with a 10-year-old child and did well with them. However, Cooper has shown to be very hand-shy, especially when someone reaches over his head, and he may urinate when he is nervous. At times, even being touched can trigger it. His next family will need to be especially gentle, patient and respectful as he learns to feel safe again. This is not to say that Cooper cannot be good with children, but any kids in his future home would need to be dog-savvy, kind and able to give him the space he needs. Cooper deserves time to find his footing and build confidence with a family that treats him with kindness.
Cooper had the chance to grow up in a home, so he has a foundation when it comes to household life. He is moderately active and would do best with a few good walks each day (he’s great on a leash), along with opportunities to keep his smart mind busy. Training, puzzle toys and games would all be great ways to challenge him.
We are told that Cooper enjoys playing with other dogs, though we will want to introduce him to any potential canine siblings thoughtfully. Cats are unknown. And Cooper’s favorite toy? A tennis ball, of course.
Cooper previously lived in a quiet suburban or rural setting, so we don’t yet know how he would adjust to the activity and stimulation of city life. His ideal home will be one that gives him time to decompress, settle in and feel secure again.
Cooper has not yet been neutered. His previous veterinarian felt he should be closer to a year old before undergoing the procedure, so he will need to be neutered through our organization. His adoption fee is $750. He is otherwise up to date on his vaccinations and monthly preventatives.
Cooper has already overcome so much in his young life. Now he needs a family that will give him the stability, patience, enrichment and lifelong commitment he deserves.

SCOTTIE - SF
AGE: ~ 1 - 2 Years Old
WEIGHT: 35 lbs
BREED: Blue-Eyed Gazelle Hound
Meet Scottie! This striking blue-eyed girl was found running back and forth along a dangerously busy road, frighteningly thin and with no one coming forward to claim her. It is believed that she was dumped nearby an up-and-coming neighborhood.
We don't know what happened before she landed in safe hands, but Scottie gives us enough little clues to know that life hasn't always been particularly kind to her. She's still working on putting some much-needed weight on her lean frame, and emotionally, she's learning that she doesn't always have to be on guard anymore.
Scottie can be apprehensive at first with unfamiliar people, and needs a little time to decide for herself that you're safe. Give this girl patience rather than pressure and you'll eventually get to meet an entirely different Scottie. Once her trust is earned, she is incredibly loyal, bubbly, and loving. She’s the kind of dog who would happily spend hours tucked against you being petted and may just qualify as one of the best cuddle partners around.
And then there's her goofy side. With her long legs, lean build and bouncy play style, a comfortable Scottie turns into something of a gazelle. She's very active, playful and loves letting loose with her canine friends, but she also has a wonderful ability to settle down and trade all that bouncing for a serious snuggle session.
Scottie has done very well with other dogs, and we actually think a well-matched canine companion could be a wonderful asset in her future home. She loved playing with her foster siblings and seems to gain a lot from having canine friends around. Because she's an enthusiastic, physical player, another dog who appreciates a similar play style would likely be her best match. Her experience with children is unknown, and because she can be quite fearful when overwhelmed, we don't think a home with young children would be the right fit.
Scottie's future family should also understand that fearful dogs require a little extra planning in the beginning. Although she has never shown aggression, she should be considered a flight risk while adjusting to unfamiliar people and surroundings. A dog-savvy family willing to keep her world secure, give her space when she asks for it and allow her confidence to build at her own pace will be incredibly important. A fenced-in yard would be a huge bonus.
She's already potty trained and has shown us just how smart and eager to learn she can be. Leash manners are definitely still on the syllabus but she’s making great strides. Scottie gets excited and has got some serious strength behind that slim figure. She will absolutely need continued training which will be great for helping her build confidence. Bring out some treats, praise and positive encouragement and she's ready to work with you. Scottie is also frightened by thunderstorms and appreciates some extra reassurance when the skies get noisy.
Scottie completely stole the hearts of her foster family, and we’ve assured them she will find the right family who is ready to help this beautiful girl soar. Scottie is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date on preventatives. Earning Scottie’s trust is so special. Give her the time she needs to trust you, and she'll give you the kind of devotion that makes you feel like the luckiest person in the world.
