PET OF THE WEEK
Humane Society of Central Oregon
541-382-3537
COOPER: Cooper is a diamond
in the rough needing an
experienced, consistent
companion willing to put in the
time and effort with both formal
training and exercise. Cooper
loves people, is enthusiastic,
and needs some clear direction
and boundaries in order for him
to thrive. He can be selective
with his doggie friends so
meet and greet is required.
This beautiful boy is worth the
effort and deserves a loving
family! Might want to invest in
a personal pool for Cooper in
between those trips to the lake!
