From Cooper's current caretaker:
Cooper is a happy, energetic dog who loves to give kisses, go on walks and play. He is also very good at settling down and sleeping at your feet under the desk. He doesn’t play with toys much, but he loves to run and play with other dogs. Cooper does well with kids, but he does not do well with cats. He is quite clever and figured out the dog door quickly. He loves to explore and figured out how to open a swinging gate to get off the deck into the yard all on his own. He is very food motivated and seems very eager to learn. Cooper would benefit from obedience training to bond with his new owner.

Notes from Jak's caretakers:
Jak is a very loving and outgoing dog who just can't get enough attention or food. He will search for food everywhere. Even though he is good with children, they need to be older so that food isn't always being dropped on the floor. He is on such a strict diet that he can't even have doggie treats. Jak is well worth adopting because he has such an amazing personality.
