Cooper Bear is being fostered in St Peters MO

Cooper Bear is a 7-year-old black tri male Australian Shepherd.  His date of birth is 1/25/2019.  He currently weighs about 70 lbs. He is a big boy who loves to go for walks and to chase toys across the yard (not so good on bringing them back) and ADORES being close to his person - a constant companion following you from room to room. Prior to rescue Cooper lived in a loving home with his companion dog Kenna.  They were surrendered to rescue due to the family not having enough time to properly care for two large dogs and a growing family. 

Cooper knows sit, stay, down, shake. He is always ready for a walk (will sit at door waiting for you to open) or a car ride, he rides like a dream, will sit in back with feet on the console and his head on your shoulder. He loves to be petted but only tolerates being brushed.  He will run to you upon hearing loud noises like thunder or fireworks.  He is being fostered with two other female dogs and does well with them.  Cooper Bear is AUSSOME with dogs, cats and kids! The Trifecta of the kind of dog you want to adopt! 

Cooper is house trained and crate trained.  When left uncrated, he has been known to counter surf and help himself to things he shouldn't.  This is an area that his foster home is working on this. In his foster home, he does have access to a dog door and a fenced yard. We do recommend a physically fenced yard for him. Cooper lived with a toddler and was a gentle giant with her but would need a slow introduction to older kids who might rush at him, possibly scaring him.  He is a sensitive boy, just like most Aussies. 

Cooper Bear is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations. He is also receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. If you have what Cooper needs, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org to find out information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application. 

NOTE: All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in. Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application. We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family. MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives. www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org
