Meet Cooper
Cooper is a 5 year old male Black Lab who weighs in at 70 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $450. If you are still interested, please read more below.
Cooper is, for the most part, a chill 5 year old male black lab. However, he is obsessed with tennis balls and loves a good game of fetch. He doesn't miss any opportunity to bring his foster mom one for throwing and returning. He will continue this game indefinitely so his foster mom has to hide the ball when she sees him getting tired. Inside the house he'll substitute one of his soft squeakies for tossing. When playing fetch, Cooper is laser focused and may unintentionally knock over whoever is in his path – this may be a bit much for some young children. Otherwise, he is good with everyone he meets!
After an exhausting game of fetch Cooper will take a long nap. He likes to lay near his foster mom and his favorite place is laying across her feet! When awake Cooper will follow his foster mom everywhere and lays his head on her lap at any chance he gets. He will be a very loyal dog to his lucky new human.
Being a lab Cooper is very food motivated. He is a neat eater and picks up any crumbs he finds. He is housetrained and stands by the door when he has to go out. Cooper is crate trained and will enter willingly if he knows there are treats waiting for him. He is extremely smart and because he is so food motivated he is a fast learner. He knows sit, shake, drop it, and off (as in "off of me, off of the sofa, etc). We are working on down/lay down. He is interested in everything so all those smells and sights distract him and interfere with learning leash manners. It's a work in progress.
Cooper is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.

Cooper is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. Learn more about our pet adoption process.
All pets adopted from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation include the following as part of their adoption fee:
- Spay/neuter or a certificate for a low-cost spay/neuter when medically recommended

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit all of our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive early, as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
