Cooper came to the trust through absolutely no fault of his own. He was 8 years old when his owner became seriously ill and sadly passed away and there was no-one who could take him.

He was a good boy at Rosehill Kennels and the staff and volunteers soon fell in love with his kind and gentle nature and enjoyed taking him on walks and giving him treats. 🦴🍪

However, a kennel is no place for a long-term stay for a lovely maturing gentleman who was confused and feeling the loss of his owner and his home, and everyone was keen to find him his forever home as swiftly as possible.

However, his age plus a few chronic health issues were putting enquirers off, even though the trust was happy to continue to support the medication costs 😢

Just as we decided to share Cooper on social media, longtime supporters and all-round lovely RR people, Adrienne & Alistair rang to say they were ready to rescue again and were looking for an older, quieter dog and our hearts lifted. They met Cooper on Valentine's Day and it was love at first sight! Just look at this picture they sent us of his first night with them. 💗 xx
