Description:
Cooper is a playful and loving mix (49% Sheltie, 16% Aussie, 12% Collie) with a personality dominated by his Aussie traits. He thrives on outdoor play, indoor cuddles and being part of the household action. Cooper loves toys, treats, learning new tricks, and solving puzzles. A physical fenced-in yard is essential for this energetic boy.
He enjoys the company of both people and dogs but has shown a preference for smaller, non-bulldog breeds. Cooper does well with dog-savvy cats—he may chase them but means no harm. While friendly, he’s protective of his space and cautious with strangers, requiring proper introductions.
Cooper’s ideal owner should have experience with herding breeds, time to dedicate to training, and a home environment where he won’t be left alone often. He’s strong on a leash, so continued training is key, and a physical fenced yard is a must. His crate is his safe haven, and he must have one in his new home.
Resilient, clever and full of love, Cooper is waiting for a forever family who will embrace his quirks and give him the care and attention he deserves. If you’re ready for a devoted companion, Cooper is ready for you!
