Hi there! My name’s Cooper, and I’m looking for a very special forever home, one filled with patience, calm and kind voices. I’m a 6-year-old boy who just loves attention, but I am easily startled and I communicate by making what sounds like low growls.

I will need a forever family with no children and no other pets, and one that understands how best to work with me. You see, I don’t like negative corrections or raised voices, and I don’t like high-stress situations.

I do respond to positive reinforcement - for example, if you want me to drop something I shouldn’t have picked up, offer me one of my toys rather than uttering a stern “no.” (I will growl a real growl if you do, but my foster people have learned how to help me bring out my best self.)
