Cooper is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu weighing 13 pounds, and he’s the perfect house companion. He adores spending time indoors, whether it’s snuggling on the couch or lounging in his crate, which he considers his safe space.

Cooper is a fan of walks, trips to the park, car rides (as long as they don’t come too soon after a meal), and playing fetch. He’s not fond of being picked up suddenly, but he loves tummy rubs and back scratches.

Cooper gets along well with other dogs after a gentle introduction and is house-trained, even knowing how to use a dog door. His intelligence shines through, and he bonds quickly with those around him. He’s also sensitive about his front paws, so gentle handling is best for this sweet boy.

Cooper would do best in a quiet home without small children.
