Meet Cooper

Cooper is an absolute pom-pom of a dog, and his smile lights up every room! He’s also great at making new friends, and loves having stories read to him.

Cooper’s Adoption Story

Cooper was discovered on a TikTok live days after Jennifer’s dog Jack passed away. His smile reminded her of Jack, and she knew it was meant to be. The rest was history!

Cooper is a social butterfly and loves meeting new people. He’s goofy and is a joy to have around!

How Jennifer Found SitStayRead

Jennifer found SitStayRead from her friend Sandi, and the two of them have worked on the GoTeam together since! Although she is new to SitStayRead, Jennifer has already gotten to witness the magic of dogs in the classroom. Even kids who are scared of dogs are unable to resist Cooper’s charm, and she loves to see everyone get along with him.
