About Cooper's Breed Mix:
Chihuahua mixes are known for their big personalities, deep loyalty, and endless love for their people. They thrive in environments where they feel safe and secure and typically form strong bonds with their primary caregiver. Their alert, intelligent nature makes them quick learners, and their affectionate side means they are just as content cuddled up as they are running around the yard.

Cooper shows all these classic traits and more. He's playful, observant, quick to learn, and once he trusts you, he's all in - full of snuggles, tail wags, and companionship.

Cooper's Story & Personality:
Cooper may have had a rough start in life - possibly due to past mistreatment - but this resilient little guy has come a long way. He's gone from timid to thriving and is now doing fantastic on walks and with new people, especially when properly introduced on a leash.

He warms up faster to women and would do best with a person or family that understands the value of patience and gentle encouragement. Cooper adores other dogs that match his energy and play style and would be happiest with a canine buddy or two. However, he could also thrive as an only dog if given enough enrichment, walks, and attention.

Cooper isn't a fan of crates and becomes anxious if left alone too long, so a home where someone is around most of the time would be ideal. He is house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and enjoys being a couch potato after playtime. His ultra-soft coat makes him extra cuddly - and his charming personality makes him unforgettable.

Cooper's Ideal Home:

A patient, loving adopter or family

A securely fenced yard for safe play

A home with another dog or two his size or larger

Someone home more often than not - he doesn't like being alone for long

Older children only, who understand dog boundaries

A household that prefers love, cuddles, and a little playful chaos

Ready to Bring Home Super Cooper?
Cooper is fully vetted, neutered, house-trained, and leash-ready. He's looking for a forever home where he can continue to grow, feel safe, and be loved like he deserves.

If you're looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a heart full of love and a playful spirit, Cooper might just be your perfect match.

Apply today at www.crisisdogsnc.org and give Cooper the second chance he's been waiting for.

  • Mission Statement:

    CrisisDogsNC is a foster-based, 501 (c) (3) non-profit founded in 2016 by journalist and author Judith Texier, whose magazine articles and books have garnered international awards and prompted changes in animal welfare laws. We work collaboratively with shelters, animal rescue and service dog organizations throughout the country which trust the consistency of our good work. Sadly, North Carolina has one of the highest shelter kill rates in the country. The means by which dogs are destroyed is often so brutal that those methods of euthanasia have been banned in most states as inhumane. We go into these kill shelters, backyard breeder facilities and dog dealers and rescue these dogs at risk and find them loving homes where they will thrive. What distinguishes us from other rescues is our focus on the relationship between the rescued dog and their new families. By gaining an understanding of your lifestyle and expectations, as well as the personalities of the dogs we rescue, we can suggest the most compatible match for a lifelong bond.
