Popcorn Park Dog Too Rambunctious For Horses, But Could Be Yours
Cooper was turned in from a farm. Although he wasn't a great fit for the horses, the fun-loving dog makes friends easily.
LACEY, NJ — Cooper lived on a farm. But after his owner determined he was "too rambunctious" for horses, he was turned in to the Associated Humane Popcorn Park Shelter.
Now the fox hound is looking for a forever home.
"Aside from apparently being too much for horses, Cooper is a fantastic and fun-loving dog that makes friends so easily," the shelter wrote on its Facebook page. "He's bright, outgoing, cheerful, and very well-behaved."

Cooper is about six months old. He walks well on a leash, sits instantly when asked, offers you a paw shake for friendship and gently takes treats. He is also an expert fetcher, according to the Popcorn Park shelter.
He has some prey drive in him, so he will need a cat-free home. But he seems happy around other dogs and people of all ages.
