Meet Cooper
Cooper came to us all the way from New Orleans, Louisiana! We got word on a Tuesday that he was scheduled for euthanasia on Thursday!. Well, that wasn't going to happen on our watch! We reached out to the shelter, and we got the OK to pull on the following day ... by Thursday he was on a long road trip to Indiana!
Day 1 , getting settled in....
SKINNY BOY! :(
Not a fan of Kiwi lol
But a BIG fan of toys!
So grateful! He's the happiest boi in the world!
9-19-19 - SUPER COOPER PUPDATE
Cooper had a vet visit on Tuesday 9/17. Here’s the scoop on Coop:
We knew he was positive for hookworms at the shelter, but we ran a fecal to see if that was cleared up from their dewormer or if we needed to treat. He came back positive for hookworms as well as coccidia. So he’s on medication for both.
His accuplex came back negative for heart worms and tick born disease. Since no history is known, we’ll recommend his new family repeat that test at the 6 month mark to be sure (It takes 6 months for heart worm to develop into adults that are detectable on tests. We retest all of our dogs at the 6 month mark if still in rescue).
His skin actually looks pretty good now. His head wounds are healing up nicely.
He has a slight ear infection that we’re treating.
He also has a couple broken teeth.
Lab work…. some things were off:
Total protein is elevated, probably because globulin is elevated. Suspect secondary to inflammation and infection noted in ear, or parasites. He also has an elevated phosphorous level.
The most common cause for hyperphosphatemia is kidney disease, but Coopers kidney levels look ok.
His T4 level is also on the low normal. He doesn’t seem to be hypothyroid though so, just something we’ll monitor. We’ll recheck everything (labs and fecal) in about 3 weeks to confirm things are looking better and not worse. Hoping this guy just needs some good food and love!
If you’d like to contribute to his vet bills and grocery bills, click that donate button below to help out! His estimated medical bills will be around $1,000 (initial exam, labs, parasite meds, ear meds, neuter, dental with extractions, microchip, heartworm preventative, and lots and lots of good food).

Second meet n greet today with my potential family - Cooper

10-29-19 Cooper update: welll him and his new furbrother have been on the struggle bus the last few days. Taking it super slow and having them only interact while out on walks right now. He absolutely adores his new hoomans tho , so we are hoping these 2 boys will work out their beef and start getting along soon. C’mon Cooper!

Update: 11-7-19
Welllllll me and my stepbrother couldn’t work out our beef so my adoption trial was a no go. I’m back to crashing on Miss Penny’s couch for now.
I would really like to find my forever home tho. Here’s a little about me...
I’m a super doof. I love to play and I love toys. I’m essentially a great big puppy.
I’m like Velcro to my humans. I love attention and snuggles. I’ll be by your feet all the time in case you need me. Just looking at my face will guarantee a smile.
I don’t have a tail pocket or a big nose rope to clean.... Im pretty low maintenance actually. I just take some joint supplements and that’s it. No meds or drops or nothin. I just got my teef cleaned so they’re nice and sparkly. and I’m up to date on vaccines and neutered. I’m literally the BEST BOY. I’m cool with cats. And most other dogs smaller than me. Big dogs make me nervous.
Interested??? (i mean obviously right?) then fill out an app!
It’s definitely allergy season. 4 of our dogs have flared up since the leaves fell just 2 days ago. ((sigh)) Cooper is in a cone until he learns to stop licking his IDC. He’s not happy. #OverFall #BringOnChristmas

Poor Coop didn’t know what to make of the snow last night. This Louisiana boy has never seen snow before ! He played it safe and peed under the bush where it was snow free. 
|
Just a reminder (especially to those living in warmer climates) I am still available for adoption. Please hurry before I freeze to death. Thanks. - Cooper

Excuse me, Why are all the best toys (ie the super squeaky toys) locked in your office closet??
Rude I’m gonna need to speak to a manager or something.
-Cooper
Dr Suess once said “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”
Speaking of out... I’ll just show myself out now 👋🏼 🤪
-Super (Silly) Cooper

Picking up meds for Hank and St Nick
Also, in case you were wondering what it looked like when Vinnie
finally rolled down the window after Cooper locked me out.
(I was dropping off supplies to Abi’s foster and I have NO idea why I thought
it was a good idea to leave the car running
and shut the door as I ran up to her house with the goodies) #blondemoment
Who else is decluttering and saging their house today? 🙋🏼♀️
Cooper is helping with the laundry portion of today’s chores.
Nail trim day in The Doggie Lift.
Nail trims done and over in record time.
Extra snacks. Minimal stress.
Happy doggo. Happy human
