Cooper

Loving Home Needed for Cooper - Energetic Beagle/Redbone Coonhound Mix

We're seeking a wonderful new home for Cooper, our 3.5-year-old beagle/redbone coonhound mix. This is an incredibly difficult decision for our family, but we want to ensure Cooper gets the time, attention, and active lifestyle he deserves.

About Cooper:
Cooper is a people-loving, energetic boy who brings joy to everyone he meets. He's the perfect companion for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle. His favorite activities include:

  • Belly rubs (he'll never say no!)
  • Outdoor adventures
  • Chasing squirrels and exploring
  • Playing with other dogs

Temperament:
Cooper has an excellent temperament and gets along wonderfully with other dogs - he's been best friends with our black lab, Finley, for over 3 years. He's also been gentle and patient with our 1-year-old son, showing his kind and trustworthy nature around children.
Why We're Rehoming:
With a second baby arriving in March, we've realized we can't give Cooper the active attention and exercise he needs and deserves. He thrives with engagement and activity, and we want him to have a home where he can be the priority.

Ideal Home:
Cooper would do best with an active family or individual who has time for daily exercise, outdoor activities, and plenty of affection. A home with a yard would be perfect for this energetic boy. He'd also do great with another dog companion.

If you can give Cooper the loving, active home he deserves, please reach out.
