Our Featured Pet

Cooper

Breed: Labrador Retriever/Doberman Pinscher
Gender: Neutered Male
Age: 11 months

Cooper is one happy, playful, confident boy who LOVES to play! This intelligent dog was actually found as a stray in Erie County, with a fractured paw. His finder vetted him, had him neutered, and nursed him back to health. He has enjoyed the company of other dogs and cats, and knows all his basic dog commands very well. Cooper likes an active owner who will walk him regularly and play a good game of "fetch" frequently!
