One of the saddest and most frustrating things that happens at a shelter is when a dog gets “kennel tail”. This happens to happy dogs who wag their tails all the time and whack them against the kennel walls, causing them to bleed all over. The only solution is getting out of the shelter. Cooper is such a dog. He loves everyone and is happy which makes this condition so unfortunate. We are adding this young dog to our March madness free adoption list, (even though he is not black). We believe he needs to be an only dog. We are open Sunday from 10 until one. He is begging us to find his forever family.
