About Cooper

COOPER August marks 3 years since Cooper came into rescue after his owners had him booked to be pts. 3 years of being in kennels😢 Whilst he might be a real head turner looks wise he does require a very special home , possibly a unicorn home but for very good reason. Cooper doesn’t take well to visitors and will not cope in busy house hold so needs a single person or gsd experienced couple to give him a chance. He needs a home with very few visitors (so if you have family or friends that visit regularly he isn’t the dog for you) If you do have the occasional visit he most definitely needs a safe space in the home where he can be put away from people. Sadly for Cooper he has had a couple of opportunities in new homes over the last 18 months but has been returned due to incidents (these will be fully disclosed to any potential adopters) Cooper is 7 years old. He is best placed as the ONLY dog – he is relatively unphased when out and about by other dogs but in the home needs to be the only pet He is an absolute no with children or any visiting children As you can see from the video he is a good boy to take out and about , walks well on the lead and is used to walking in a head collar . For the right home he will bond deeply and have nothing but love to give . In a world where rescue is in crisis , Cooper stands a small chance of finding his forever person. Could that be you? If it is please use the link below Cooper is in kennels near Southampton and WILL require multiple meets to allow him to get used to you. If you’re not prepared to do this you aren’t his person.
