Description:

Boxer Dog for Adoption in Woodbury, Minnesota, 55125 USNickname: Cooper Posted Breed: Boxer (short coat). Adoption Fee: $536.88 (includes MN tax). Hey friends, I'm Cooper! I'm an awesome boy with quite a story. Pull up a chair and let's read about me. I was surrendered to MNBR in June because my owner got a job promotion with a lot of travel and wasn't going to be able to care for me. I basically was going to be kenneled three weeks out of the month so my owner did the right thing by surrendering me. I took the long journey from Michigan to my foster home in Minnesota. My foster home included parents and a small dog companion to play with. I did really well there. I was pretty perfect at their house actually and considered "move- in ready". I was just your average 2.5yo boxer boy. I was soon adopted by a really nice couple. Turns out, my perfect behavior in my foster home was me putting on a front. Deep down I was really insecure. The more comfortable I became with my new parents, the more comfortable I felt trying to communicate my insecurities, fears and anxieties. As you know, a dog communicates with their eyes, body language, growling, etc. One day, the constant barking from the neighbor's dogs got the best of me and I shamefully lost my little mind. In my attempt to jump the fence, my mom grabbed me (as one does), and when my tootsies got back to the ground I grabbed my mom's arm. I let go but then grabbed the other one and didn't want to let go. Luckily, she was wearing a sweatshirt and I didn't bite through it, but she did have bruising and naturally, the whole incident scared her. My parents called the rescue and back I came. They are good people so no hate; I just needed professional help. I've been in a board & train the last few months getting the help I needed. I've learned that I love routine. If I know what to exepect and the steps I need to take to complete a task, my insecurities are at bay. I've learned I don't like other dogs if they're in my face barking or pawing at me and very hyper. I prefer calm dogs that don't peer pressure me into an activity I'm uncomfortable with and just purely are there to co-exist. I've learned I don't like raised voices, please no yelling as it scares me. I've learned that just because I don't know someone I shouldn't assume they're going to do me harm and I don't need to bark at them. What can I say, I'm a sensitive, emotional guy. My ideal owner truly loves rescue dogs and all that we have to offer. My ideal owner provides a daily routine, physical exercise, and healthy, mental stimulation. My ideal owner is willing to set boundaries for me and also learn my boundaries. My ideal owner will respect me, not baby me. And last but not least, my ideal owner is willing to learn my communication style and be attentive to it so we can both be successful in our relationship. Most relationships fail for poor communication, am I right? My ideal home has a yard and is quiet. And if I'm being honest, my ideal home is probably me as the only pet, but maybe has a friend with a calm, unobtrusive, walking buddy that we meet up with from time to time. Can you give me a chance? If we're being real, aren't we all a little screwed up, insecure, and grossly imperfect? And don't we all need that beastie who is there for us celebrating our wins and calling us out on our crazy? *Cooper will come with transition sessions with his trainer to help make sure he has a successful transition to his new home as well as being able to communicate with the trainer before meeting Cooper. We love him and are ecstatic he is ready to find his forever family!
