A personal plea from one of our staff:
🥺💔🥺💔🥺💔🥺💔🥺💔🥺💔🥺💔🥺
“There’s nothing more left to do but accept the truth. Cooper is probably never going to leave the rescue.
Nobody wants an old dog. He’s not small, he’s got some bumps and lots of frosty fur surrounding his soulful eyes. One can only imagine the things Cooper has seen in his hey day. But younger, smaller dogs are something he just can’t compete with. It’s sad enough Cooper lost his mom when her health failed, and now it is painfully obvious there’s just no place for him. So day after day for the past year and a half, he quietly sits in a kennel surrounded by the loud echoes of the other dogs constantly barking around him. Cooper sits on his bed and just waits until it’s his turn to go out. To get a break from the monotonous noise. And it’s not like we aren’t trying to find him a family. He attends every adoption event. He mingles with the other dogs and greets new faces politely. They oooh and ahhh over him but we know what they are thinking. They aren’t even pretending to consider taking him home.
Maybe this post is a rant. Maybe it’s just my sadness and frustration knowing what a superb dog Cooper is and he won’t even be given a chance.
Cooper is with us at Posh Pets Rescue in Long Beach NY. This is likely the only “home” he is going to know for the rest of his life. I’m sorry Coopy. I so wish I could do more because you deserve so much more. 🥺”
