Cooper - Carolina Dog Dog for Adoption in Aberdeen, North Carolina

Hi, I'm Cooper.
I'm about 3.5 years old, weigh around 50 pounds, and I'm a neutered, vaccinated, microchipped Carolina Dog mix who's heartworm negative and overall very healthy.

I'm high energy, super sweet, and very affectionate. I love being around people and enjoy spending time with my humans just as much as I enjoy staying active. I have a lot of love to give and don't mind being close to the people I trust.

I do well with other dogs and am friendly with female dogs, but I may prefer being the only dog in the home so I can have all the attention to myself. Cats are still to be determined. I do well with kids, though my energy level means I'd do best with kids who are comfortable around an active dog.

I'm house trained, crate trained, and leash trained, though I'm still working on my leash manners and can pull. I can also be leash reactive, so continued training and structure will help me succeed.

A fenced yard is required for me, as I need space to safely burn off my energy. I'd thrive in a home that understands my activity level and is willing to provide exercise, consistency, and clear boundaries.

If you're looking for a loyal, energetic companion who bonds closely with his people and would love to be your main focus, I'm ready to find my forever home.

The Carolina Dog, a primitive breed known for its wild ancestry, is a medium sized, agile, and intelligent dog originally found roaming freely in the Southeastern United States. With a distinctive appearance marked by erect ears, a bushy tail, and a sable coat, Carolina Dogs are highly adaptable, affectionate with their families, and wary of strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. Their natural hunting instincts and independence require consistent training and an active lifestyle to thrive in a loving home environment.
