Owner Info: DOB February 2012. Cooper is a very handsome and sweet fellow whose owners are raising their newborn grandson. Cooper is having difficulty around the newborn and this has become a concern. He is being kept penned up more than normal and is becoming depressed. They feel Cooper needs more than they can provide, and they write, "Quality of life being penned up with no other companion has disclosed a behavior where Cooper becomes "depressed" acting and lack of appetite." They are very much hoping for rescue for sweet Cooper. Cooper is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. He is completely blind and they write that his eyes appear normal and are green in color. Cooper is a smart boy! He knows several commands including, Stop, Step, Slow Down, Stay, Lay Down, Sit, Come, and Do Not Eat! Cooper is good with both men and women, but a home without children is recommended. They also tell us that Cooper is great with other dogs. "Our sons have dogs and one is a rescued boxer mix and the other is a lab great Pyrenees as well, only with vision. They all get along great." Cooper is also good with cats. Cooper is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression. He perks up around other dogs (he loves when their son brings his dog over - he becomes a different dog and his appetite improves!), and they want us to know that he's an awesome dog! They write, "Cooper is an awesome obedient dog. He just needs to be around other dogs for companion. He would not be good in a home with newborn children as we have experienced with our own grandson".
