About this Dog
I currently have a 6 year old Saint Bernard that we rescued from somebody off of Facebook about 3 years ago. We don’t know much about his history but we know that he didn’t have a leash, collar, food bowl, or toys and that he spent most of his time outside. He had heartworms when we got him and we went through the treatment for that. When we got him, he was very friendly and loving to anybody he met. We would take him out and about multiple times a week and he was very sociable. After about 6 months with us, he suddenly became fearful and extremely protective (?) when in contact with any stranger. This consists mostly of aggressively barking if they got close to us at all. We had a trainer come in and do an in-home assessment with him. He lunged at her while she was inside. The trainer said that since we don’t know his background, it’s hard to say if he’s going to get better. We have worked with him on basic training and socialization. We love him so much but the aggression has just gotten to the point where we do not have the resources to help him have a happy, healthy life. For a while, I was able to just spend most of my time at home and not allow visitors and just deal with it, but circumstances have changed and it is unfair to Cooper and my roommate. I live in a home with a fence, but he consistently tries to get out if he sees something he wants to chase, (usually just cats) and we are extremely worried about him getting out and coming in contact with other people and what might happen. As I said above, we love him and have been trying to work with him over time, but this is just so much more than we know how to handle. We are really praying that we find somebody that is willing to work with him and let him warm up to them, and that has experience rehabbing dogs with an unknown history like his. This has been an extremely difficult decision but at the end of the day, I know that finding him somebody who knows how to help him is best for both of us. He LOVES his people so much and is the absolute best other than the over-protectiveness. I believe he would do better with strangers if he wasn’t trying to protect us. To go to the vet, we have to sedate him with meds from the vet so we could potentially calm him to meet and warm up to a potential new home. I really think he would be perfect for your program. I know he wants to give love and be loved, I just cant give him the help he needs to do that :(

Adopt Cooper and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Cooper's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
16 DOGE is Cooper's current Dogecoin balance
16 DOGE
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Cooper, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Cooper's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Cooper was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Cooper’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Cooper’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Cooper’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
