Name: Cooper
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Shi-Poo
Age: 6 ½ years

Vet/Medical Info: Cooper had a complete physical 11/2012. He is neutered and heartworm negative. He is due for Rabies 10/7/12, Bordetello 11/29/12, Distemper 10/28/13 and the lepto/parvo 11/2012. He has cataracts.

Owner Info: DOB 7/15/2007. Cooper's owner needs to find a new home for him due to personal circumstances. Cooper has been an excellent dog, friendly, laid back, so easy to love. Circumstances have arrived that make it necessary for her to find him a new and loving home. Cooper is essentially blind due to bilateral cataracts, his first one formed at 10 months old followed by the other eye at one year of age. Surgery is probably a viable remedy to restore his sight but she just cannot afford the cost involved unfortunately and that makes it all the more horrible to know that he could see if it weren't for money issues. He is up to date on all vaccines and has seen his vet regularly. He is large for his breed, his mom and dad were 7 lbs and 13 lbs and Cooper weighs in at 37 lbs. The picture is before his eyes clouded but he still looks adorable. Cooper is an indoor dog with the run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. He is good with people and children of all ages, other dogs, cats and small animals. Cooper does very well with his visual impairment and fly’s up and down their stairs incredibly well. Other than his vision he is healthy as a horse as they say. He has had some problem with flea bite allergy but is under control and she keeps him on Comfortis year round now and sprays the yard area where he goes potty. Cooper is a warm, loving, easy going boy and will make someone a very special companion. Cooper's current owner is happy to continue caring for him until we can find him a permanent home.
