Cooper is a handsome 2½-year-old Goldendoodle looking for a family that can keep up with his fun-loving personality and active lifestyle!
Like many doodles, Cooper is smart, energetic, and always ready for his next adventure. He came to Freedom First Rescue after the older couple who purchased him from an Amish puppy mill as a puppy realized that his size and energy level were simply more than they could comfortably manage. While they loved him dearly, they wanted to give him the opportunity to thrive in a home better suited to his needs.
Cooper is fully vetted, potty trained, and crate trained. He gets along well with other dogs and would love a canine companion who enjoys playing and burning off energy as much as he does. He is also great with children and would make a wonderful addition to an active family that enjoys walks, hikes, outdoor activities, or simply spending time playing in the yard.
Because Cooper is an intelligent and energetic breed mix, he will do best with adopters who are committed to providing him with both physical exercise and mental enrichment. A bored doodle can quickly become a mischievous doodle!
Cooper has not yet been introduced to cats, so we are unable to say how he would do in a feline household.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion, adventure buddy, and best friend all rolled into one fluffy package, Cooper may be the perfect match for you!
⚠️ A Note About Allergies & “Hypoallergenic” Dogs ⚠️
Please do not ask if Cooper is hypoallergenic. The answer is no.
In fact, no dog is truly hypoallergenic. This is a common misconception. Dog allergies are caused by proteins found in a dog’s dander (dead skin cells), saliva, and urine—not simply by their fur. While some breeds, including Goldendoodles, may shed less and therefore spread less dander throughout the environment, they still produce the proteins that trigger allergic reactions.
Some individuals with dog allergies may tolerate certain dogs better than others, but there is no way for a rescue to guarantee that any dog will not cause an allergic reaction.
No dog is 100% hypoallergenic, and any rescue, breeder, or seller claiming otherwise is simply not being truthful
