Rescue story
A narrow, single-lane road area constantly traversed by large dump trucks— was a harsh environment where accidents were all too common for the dogs. Their only shelter was a nearby abandoned, crumbling house. Thanks to the kindness of volunteers nearby, they managed to survive by drinking from moss-covered bowls and eating from dusty dishes. Some dogs bore scars on their faces, while others couldn’t walk properly. WEACT acted swiftly to rescue #weact_cooper and the other neglected dogs.


Personality
With his short legs, Cooper eagerly dashes toward people, his tail wagging like a real-life caricature. He’s an adorable bundle from head to toe, with perfect proportions and a sunny disposition—Cooper is still very much a joyful puppy at heart, especially around people.


With humans
To say Cooper loves people would be an understatement. He’s delighted and always eager for human contact, whether you touch him here or there. Cooper finds boundless happiness simply by being near people.


With dogs
Cooper generally gets along with other dogs but can be a bit cautious around new friends. As he’s still a puppy, he may feel scared at times. Introducing him slowly to other dogs will help him feel comfortable and secure.

Energy Level
Cooper isn’t extremely energetic, so high-impact activities may not suit him best. While he moves without trouble, it’s better to engage him with indoor play or nose work, along with a gentle daily walk. This approach keeps him happy and healthy without placing undue stress on his legs.


Needs help with
Cooper is still learning to potty indoors and may need extra guidance. He’s also new to leash walking and may feel some tension on the leash, so gradual, step-by-step training will help him build confidence during walks.


Health specifics
Cooper was born with a congenital deformity in his front legs, which causes a slight height difference in his hind legs and makes bending his joints a bit uncomfortable. However, he shows no signs of pain when walking or running. He does experience mild motion sickness, so gentle training to help him adjust to car rides is recommended.


Ideal family
Cooper would be happiest in a family that can shower him with love and affection. A home with a calm canine companion would be ideal, as active playmates might inadvertently strain his legs. Though Cooper may have been born with legs a bit different from other dogs, he eagerly steps forward with bravery and warmth toward people. We hope to find him a forever family who will walk beside him, every step of the way, for life.
