Hi everyone, my name is Cooper

Cooper is a small sized 1-year-old Kelpie x Border Collie with a gorgeous nature and a love for fun. He’s a bright, affectionate boy who enjoys people, loves games, and gets along beautifully with confident, calm dogs.  He enjoys engaging play, enrichment activities, and spending time with his favourite humans. He takes cues well from other dogs and would be delighted to have a canine buddy to learn from.

At his young age, Cooper is still discovering the world and would benefit from:

  • Basic training to set him up for success

  • Supportive introductions to new experiences

  • Plenty of enrichment, games, and opportunities to learn

He’s food-motivated and eager to please, making him a great candidate for positive reinforcement training.

Cooper would suit a home ready to guide a young, active dog through the next stages of life. Whether he joins as a solo pet or alongside a calm, confident dog, he’ll thrive with consistency, engagement, and plenty of love.

If you’re after a sweet, playful companion with a bright future ahead, Cooper could be the perfect addition to your family.  Please fill out the expression of interest form and the kennels team will be in touch.

Adopting an animal

Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.

Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.

  • Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
  • Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
  • Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
  • Do I have time for obedience training?
  • If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
  • Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
  • Does the whole family want a pet?
  • Will the pet be allowed inside?
  • Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
  • Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.

Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:

  • Weekly animal food bills and necessities
  • Yearly council registration
  • Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
  • Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
  • Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
  • Ongoing grooming
  • Boarding fees for human holidays
  • Enrichment like training, toys etc
