About this Dog
Introducing Cooper: the Sweetest Senior Soul Cooper needs a new foster parent or Adopter. Life hasn’t always been kind to Cooper, but you’d never know it by the way he looks at you—with soft, trusting eyes full of gratitude. This gentle collie mix, approximately 6–7 years old, has endured neglect and hardship, yet he still radiates warmth and kindness. His spirit remained unbroken. Cooper’s journey to a better life began when he was rescued by Tara’s House from an outdoor kennel where he had spent nearly all of his life. He arrived four months ago - emaciated and heartworm positive . He had never known the comfort of a home, the security of a soft bed, or the simple joy of a loving touch. But thanks to his dedicated foster mom—who gave him nutritious meals, cared for him through heartworm treatment, and, most importantly, showed him love—Cooper is now ready to begin his next chapter. He is on the mend and needs a quiet, peaceful home where he can continue to regain his strength. A cozy spot to rest his head, a gentle hand to reassure him, and the time to slowly ease into an active routine—those are the only things Cooper asks for. He is a calm, sweet-natured old soul who gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and people of all ages. Cooper is proof that resilience and love can transform a life. Whether you are ready to foster or adopt, Cooper is waiting to meet you with open paws and an open heart. Could you be the one to complete his journey? If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, Cooper is waiting to meet you! You can to foster or adopt Cooper by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.net or www.tarashouse.org. His adoption fee is $400, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions.

Adopt Cooper and Receive Cooper's Fund
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.
$0.0 is Cooper's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Cooper, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Cooper's contribution 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 contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. 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 balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
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 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!
