Cooper and Handler Lori

Regional Area: Central

Breed: Doodle

Cooper courts people and pets alike with his warm, winning ways!

The busy team of Cooper and Lori have attended several Technical Schools programs and various corporate events, visited the Quaker Meeting House with Bright Choices, attended the Leu Gardens Dog Day, the ToHo Water Authority event and the Hospice and Palliative Care Nurses Association event.

Cooper especially enjoyed their visit to the Technical Schools. He was very engaged with the young adults who gave him lots of attention, hugs and belly rubs. He also loved being at the Leu Gardens event with all of the other dogs.

Lori owns a small, one dog at a time boutique pet sitting service called Coopers Cottage and Cooper not only loves being its mascot, he loves playing “big brother” to the dogs, whether it’s for a few days or a few weeks. He’s a wonderful ambassador!

Cooper, who loves going on walks, particularly at the beach, always needs to be the leader. But what melts his mom’s heart most is the soft spot he has – for cats! Then there’s the fact that he loves the mailmen and Amazon drivers. While most dogs bark and lunge at them, Cooper makes them his friends, wagging his tail and smiling when they approach. So many mention how sweet he is and want to pet him.

As for this team’s future: volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House since it’s very close to home.
