Meet Cooper

Cooper is a sweet, goofy, loving Goldendoodle who is looking for his forever family.

Cooper recently failed out of our program, but that does not mean he failed at being an amazing dog. It simply means his path is different. He would thrive in a home where he can just be a dog, soak up attention, and live his best life.

He is affectionate, playful, and full of personality. As you can see from that big smile and happy tongue, Cooper loves being around people. He enjoys attention, walks, and being part of the action. He has a lot of love to give and would do wonderfully with a family that can provide consistency, patience, and plenty of belly rubs.

Cooper would do best in a home that:
• Has time to continue reinforcing basic training
• Can give him regular exercise and structure
• Wants a loyal companion who will happily greet them every day

He is healthy, handsome, and ready for a fresh start with a family who will see him for who he is, not for what he did not complete.

If you or someone you know is looking for a loving, fun, devoted companion, Cooper may be your perfect match. Please share to help us find this sweet boy the home he deserves.

Let’s get Cooper home

Big shoutout to We Fix Them All for the amazing work they do providing low cost spay and neuter services in our community.

Access to affordable spay and neuter helps reduce overcrowding, improves animal health, and gives more pets the chance to live happy, safe lives. Programs like this make a real difference for families who love their animals but may need a little help to keep them cared for.

If you have been putting off getting your pet fixed because of cost, please check out We Fix Them All and see what options are available. Supporting organizations like this helps pets and people alike

FIX THEM ALL offers low cost spaying and neutering for people who can’t afford to fix their pets. Spay/neuter of owned pets is the only way to greatly reduce, and hopefully eliminate, pet overpopulation and euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals.

Huge thank you to Doggie Dude Ranch for inviting us out to evaluate nine of their adorable puppies for potential service dog work.

We met some seriously cute and cuddle little ones who absolutely stole our hearts. Each puppy showed their own unique personality and potential, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to spend time getting to know them.

It is always an honor to partner with programs who care deeply about temperament, structure, and long term success. Thank you for trusting us to help assess these sweet pups as possible future service dogs. We are excited to see what the future holds for them

We want to take a moment to truly thank Brooke Roberts and Travis Roberts for stepping up and helping us with kennel time for our dogs. Their willingness to give their time and care speaks volumes and made a meaningful impact on our daily operations and on the well being of our dogs.

Because of their help our dogs received extra attention consistency and care which is essential to their growth training and overall happiness. Support like this allows us to stay focused on the Pop Smoke mission and continue building strong dependable service dogs for the veterans we serve.

We are incredibly thankful for Brooke and Travis for showing up when it mattered and for being part of the heart behind what we do. Your help does not go unnoticed and we are truly grateful. Brooke Elizabeth Travis Anthony

When a veteran comes home the uniform comes off but the weight does not. PTSD anxiety and isolation follow many long after service ends. At Pop Smoke K9 for Veterans we pair veterans with trained service dogs that provide grounding safety and a reason to keep moving forward.
This work saves lives but it cannot happen without support.

Demand is growing. More veterans are reaching out. More dogs need training. Without donations we cannot say yes to every veteran who needs help.
This is where community makes the difference.

Training one service dog costs thousands of dollars. That includes professional training medical care equipment and long term follow up. Veterans never pay for their dog.
We rely entirely on donations to continue this mission.
