Cooper

Gentle Loyal Companion Seeking a Loving Home!

Meet Cooper, a beautiful 8-year-old yellow Lab who is ready to find his ultimate forever home. Cooper is the definition of a loyal, sweet, and low-maintenance companion.

• 8 years old
• Yellow Labrador Retriever
• 120 lb (a big, lovable teddy bear!)
• Fully house-trained!
• Healthy with no special needs or daily medications

Low Energy Level. He prefers head rubs and lounging at your feet over long hikes. But enjoys going for walks.

Dog Friendly. He is curious at first but ultimately indifferent and calm around other dogs. No aggression issues.

Cooper is a sensitive soul and can be a bit shy at first, but thrives with patience, love, and a gentle approach. Once he trusts you, his loyalty is unmatched. Cooper spent the last four years in a quiet home with a single owner. Before that he was in the New England Lab Rescue program.

Although Cooper typically walks at a slow meandering pace, he is a strong boy who gets excited when he sees bunnies on walks. He needs an owner who can confidently handle a large dog on a leash or a fenced in yard. He has thrived in a quiet, adult-only environment, so a peaceful home would be best.

If you are looking for a calm, devoted best friend to keep your feet warm, Cooper is your boy!
