Description:

Swag aka Cooper is one beautiful boy! He is house trained (not a single accident since he arrived in MN. This boy is a non-chewer, very much a gentleman inside and relatively easy going guy all around. He loves time outside. In addition to regular walks, he goes on hikes through the woods where he can explore and to the local tennis courts where he can run freely in an enclosed area. Cooper is a natural barker, but is learning quickly that barking isn’t necessary. He is quick to bond with his person and needs a chance to warm up to new people. We are actively training on this and he is becoming more comfortable around visitors every day.

Cooper is super smart and has been an A+ student when it comes to training and learning a variety of commands including sit, down, stay, stop, heel, leave it, etc., so it’s been fun teaching him good manners. He loves to walk (and run) and is very good on a leash and stops and sits at crosswalks. When outside, Cooper is very alert and aware of his surroundings and can be distracted … “squirrel!” … and may need to be reminded to stay focused and remember his manners. Once that’s done, he is happy and can hike any distance you ask of him. He is an explorer and enjoys getting off the main trail.

**It will be important for Cooper’s forever family to continue training to maintain and expand on his good behaviors.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
