Cooper is a 7 month old male German Shepherd puppy for Rehoming

We are sadly looking to rehome our 7-month-old German Shepherd puppy, Cooper. Despite our best efforts, Cooper has not been able to live comfortably with our cats and we feel it's best to find him a home that suits his needs better.

Cooper is intelligent, eager to learn, and highly motivated by food. He’s full of puppy energy but is very obedient and enjoys training. I can provide more details on his progress in private messages.

He does have anxiety, especially around new dogs and cats, and can be quite reactive. However, once familiar, he’s full of energy and loves to play with other dogs. Cooper is wonderful with people, showing no aggression, just excitement to meet and spend time with new faces.

He’s fully vaccinated, wormed, and microchipped.

The photos shown are from yesterday so he looks how he does in those, I have plenty of photos of him from day 1 until today if you'd like to see them.

We love Cooper deeply, but after seeing no improvement with his interactions with our cats, we need to do what’s best for both him and them. We’re committed to finding him a home where he can truly thrive.

We just want to find him a loving home where he can flourish.
