Cooper - Shih Tzu and Pekingese Dog for Adoption in Hatfield, Pennsylvania

Meet Cooper

Cooper is an 8-9 year-old Shih Tzu/Pekingese mix with southern gentleman vibes and just the right amount of personality. He came to us after his owner sadly had a stroke and could no longer care for him, and now hes on the hunt for a new place to call home.

This guy? Total flirt. Cooper loves hanging out with volunteers and staff and knows exactly how to turn on the charm when it counts. His hobbies include lounging in ridiculously soft beds, burrowing like its his full-time job, and enjoying bones that are... honestly bigger than his head.
Cooper has lived with another small female dog and has met a few dogs here. His preference is pretty simplecalm, relaxed friends who match his low-key lifestyle.

Now for his quirk: grooming. Cooper enjoys looking handsome, but participating in the process? Hard pass, especially when it comes to his face. Hell need a patient adopter whos willing to work through his stubborn streak, along with a skilled (and understanding) groomer or possibly a sedated groom at a vet. Think of it as part of his charm... and maybe a little bit of negotiation.

The good news hes housebroken and crate trained. Like any new dog, he may need a little adjustment time, but hes got a great foundation.
Cooper is equal parts sweet, stubborn, and snuggly. If youre looking for a loyal little companion with a big personality, he just might be your guy
