Cooper was born June 12, 2020. He is a 2 year old, approximate 70 pound golden retriever.

Cooper is fine with other dogs, and needs an owner who is home more than not. He wouldn't be a good dog for someone who would need to crate their dog and leave all day for work. A family who works from home would be ideal.

Cooper has been diagnosed with Uveitis, Subretinal Infiltrate, Retinal Detachment, Spastic Entropion and Blastomycosis. Unfortunately his former owner was not giving Cooper his anti-fungal medicine on a regular basis, which caused further damage to this boy and almost costing him his life. Cooper's prognosis is poor for return of vision, especially since he was not been receiving his anti fungals. With proper treatment however, most dogs can live long and healthy lives.

Cooper Update July 9 Cooper visited the vets on June 21st. His chest films showing nice clean lungs, and no sign of fungus there. His blood tests and heartworm test all came back normal. His urine test showed the blastomycosis number has dropped from 4.67 to 2.88 which is wonderful! Hopefully with more time and meds he will get to 0. He will go back to the Eye Institute in Dayton for recheck this week and each month, until the fungus is gone and then he will get rechecks every six months.
Cooper is currently in a foster-to-adopt family. If he becomes available for adoption, we will let you know. We appreciate all the donations towards his growing medical care! Thank you!
