Alexandria Pet Of The Week: A Sweet Dog In His Golden Years

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Whether you are looking for a cat, dog or smaller pet, consider starting your search at the animal shelter. At Patch, we regularly feature adoptable pets at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

This week's featured pet is Cooper, a senior pet looking for a home during his golden years. He has basic commands down and easily warms up to people.

Here is more information on Cooper:

Cooper is a 13-year-old baked potato (oops, we mean dog) looking for a loving home to live out his senior years. This loveable lug is super sweet and promises to provide unconditional love for the rest of his days. Despite being a golden oldie, he is still very spry and loves to go on leisurely walks and sniffs. Cooper is very social and loves to give lots (and lots) of wet sloppy kisses. He's certainly never met a stranger. Of course, with age comes wisdom. He knows sit, "paw" or shake, and not to use the bathroom indoors (yay!). Cooper would love to find a home soon where he can relax and chill on a warm cozy bed! Here's a video of him being his adorable smoochy self.
