A Forever Home for Cooper!

Just as I hoped, Cooper found his forever home on Thursday. I loved the couple, John and Mari, both retired professors, who cannot be more kind, gracious, and perfect for Cooper.  Someone said, and I agree that given his separation anxiety, this is Cooper's best chance at a new forever home. 

Updates have so far,  all been positive ones. Cooper is settling in and they are thrilled and so happy to have him as part of their lives! By the looks in the photo below, he is comfortable and feeling right at home!

I do have to add a little caveat to this story. Lab Rescue asks foster homes to post information about our foster dogs along with photos on their Facebook page every week, just to give them some visibility and maybe get someone to notice them. With over 80 dogs available right now for adoption, and adoptions at an all time low, it's needed, especially now. And I'm not creative by any stretch, but I decided to do something different and add a little something to Cooper's photo two weeks ago. 

No one commented on it, and I'd pretty much forgotten about it. But when Mari and Jeff came to meet Cooper the other day, I couldn't help but notice, that Mari, who is an artist, had printed out that photo, and made a little notebook out of it. She said that was what made her notice Cooper. So, I guess a little flair can sometimes go a long way. Even if you're like me and not creative!
