West Yorkshire dog waits 200 days for forever home
A dog described as a "bundle of fun" has been waiting more than 200 days for his forever home after receiving barely any applications for adoption, the RSPCA are hoping to find Cooper, a two-year-old lurcher, new owners after receiving care from RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford & District Branch since who was rescued after being found living in unsuitable conditions and kept outside, was adopted in February but returned after one day and there has been no interest since Spencer, from the branch, said she did not understand why Cooper has had "such little interest" as he "loves everyone he meets". She said: "He's an adventurous dog who loves going on walks and would appreciate a fairly active family."Cooper loves to play with his toys especially playing chase and tug. He's very clever and is learning lots every day through scent work games which the staff have been really enjoying playing with him as he's so much fun."This lovely lurcher loves to spend time zooming around in our enclosed paddock. "After his tea in the evening he likes to curl up on his bed and settle down for the night."She added he had a "bit of a tough start in life" so they were looking to find him a "reliable, loving home who will give him the second chance at happiness we know he deserves". The RSPCA said Cooper, who is fully housetrained, could be rehomed to families with children aged 12 years old or older and would prefer not to live with any other dogs, cats or small furry pets such as rabbits or guinea pigs. Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
