My story

　　Special boy Cooper is looking for a new home that can help him with his needs :) Cooper is shy with new people. He acts like a tuff guy with big dogs. He runs up and gets scared and runs back. He is amazing with my 10 month old Grand baby since day one. He has 2 cats and they just ignore each other. He loves attention. He loves walks but not in the snow. He's always happy. I've never been a dog person and protested the dog when my daughter moved in with me at 6 months pregnant with Cooper. Very soon after I made him mine. You can not help but love him. Prior to his paralyses he was very well potty trained. He is 3 years old. March 15th we went to dinner and came home and noticed he kinda limped. Next day he could barely walk. I rushed him to the University animal hospital during covid so could not go in. Had to sit in car. They came out with Cooper and said it was neurological. Maybe slipped disc. I could not afford MRI and surgery. I took him to doggie chiropractors and accupuncture and no help. He has been paralyzed since March. He loves going on walks with his new wheelchair but he's out of shape and we have been slowly increasing his walks. He gets tired.

　　Interested in this pup? The first step is to fill out the adoption application on our website! We are currently scheduling adoption meet/greets by appointment. We are not currently hosting any public adoption events at Petco. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions! Our location is 1721 W Harmony unit 102 in Fort Collins Co 80526, we cannot guarantee we will always have available pups staying at our clinic! Most our rescues are in foster homes!Breed and size disclosure: As a rescue all of our dogs come to us from high-kill shelters or other rescues, so we do not get a lot of background or information on these dogs. We occasionally receive the mother with the puppies, but in most cases both parents are unknown. Because of this we do not know the full breeding of the dogs. We are required to list the dogs based on the breeds provided to us on their records, but they are all mixed breeds as far as we know, and we cannot guarantee the actual breeds of any of these dogs. Since the full breeding of the dogs is unknown we can also only give you an educated guess on the full-grown size of the dogs. All of the current information we have on the dogs is listed in their bio above. More information may be available at our adoption event, since a lot of the fosters turn in report cards on how the dog has done in their care when they drop them off. Adoption Process: If you are interested in adopting from us, the first step of our adoption process is to fill out an application online at http://aaanimalrescue.org/adoption_app.html. It takes us 24-48 hours to process your application and get back to you, via email. Applications turned in Friday afternoon or Saturday morning will not be processed since we are preparing for or at our adoption event. We do have applications on site at our events, but are not always able to approve them at that time and many of the dogs will already have holds on them, so we suggest you fill out an application prior to attending an adoption event. We can place a hold on one dog per approved applicant after a deposit fee has been received, please do not ask to hold a dog if you have not turned in

　　an application and been approved, for the first hour of our adoption event, so that they can get the first chance to meet and hopefully adopt that dog. After the first hour of the event all dogs are available on a first come, first serve basis. If you already have an approved application on file, there will just be more paperwork and the adoption fee at the event, but you will be able to take home the dog/puppy that day. Since we are foster based and do not have a location, our dogs are only available to meet at our events, unless otherwise noted.

　　If you have any questions or would like to adopt Cooper, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
