About this Dog
COOPER (watch my video!) Male, neutered 1-3/4 years old Pit bull terrier 40 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Untested with cats and kids There are dogs who love you, and then there are dogs like Cooper—who adore you, who worship the ground you walk on, and who will follow you from room to room like you're made of sunshine and peanut butter. They make you feel like the stars shine just for you. He is not just loyal – he is a Velcro companion who follows his foster mom like a second heartbeat. Cooper is highly food motivated, impressively trained, and oh is he clever. He has a growing resume of commands: sit, down, stay, come, paw, spin, touch, “look at me,” place, and even a reliable emergency recall. He does well on leash, in the crate and car, and has even joined his foster family on brewery adventures (though he’ll politely decline any invitations involving rain because a soggy Cooper is a sad Cooper). But Cooper’s soul is sensitive and he has known shadows in his past before he was pulled from a county euthanasia list and given a second chance by LOVEPAWS. He is wary of new people, loud sounds, or fluttering plastic bags can rattle his nerves. He thrives with structure and gentle guidance. He uses his “place” command as a safe way to meet new guests with space and predictability while he settles his big feelings. He needs time—true, patient time—to let his guard down. Once he does, the affection flows like warm honey. He’s silly and sweet, playful with his dog friends, but not overly energetic. He’d much rather match your vibe—romp when you’re romping, nap when you’re napping, and always be exactly where you are. At 1.75 years old and just 40 pounds, Cooper is a perfectly shrunken-down Pittie mix—equal parts pit bull, Pomeranian (yes, really), bulldog, Rottweiler, and all heart. He’s the kind of dog who will melt into you on the couch with a deep sigh of contentment, tucked under a blanket like the precious burrito he knows he is. When he’s cozy, he makes the softest little groans, and comfort is his love language. Cooper gets along with all four of his dog foster siblings. He’s looking for a home without young children but with humans who understand that the deepest love doesn’t always appear in an instant—it grows, slowly and surely, like trust blooming into forever. His tail wags constantly, his eyes sparkle with devotion, and his daily motto is, “If I fits, I sits”—whether that’s in your lap, your heart, or the smallest patch of sunshine on the floor. If you’re seeking a companion who will love you with his whole soul, who finds joy in just being near you, and who sees you as his entire universe—Cooper is waiting with a blanket ready, heart open, tail wagging.

Adopt Cooper and Receive Cooper's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Cooper's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Cooper's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Cooper, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Cooper's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Cooper was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Cooper’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Cooper’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Cooper’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
