Short spine syndrome is a genetic condition where the vertebrae are severely compressed, occasionally they are even fused together. It is believed the condition is caused by inbreeding.

In 2017, a then 2-month-old puppy was found abandoned near Halifax, Virginia. Animal control picked up the dog and he was placed in the care of Secondhand Hounds, a shelter in Minnesota.

Elly and Andy Keegan agreed to foster Cooper. Despite his struggles with mobility they worked with him to improve his quality of life.

When Cooper first arrived at the Keeganโ€™s home, he fell and fractured his neck in several places, but that didnโ€™t put a damper on Cooperโ€™s spirits. And neither did a bone infection, which effected him only a few months later.

โ€œHe also had a surgery which helps him go to the bathroom a little better, which means heโ€™s quite low maintenance now and can go by himself,โ€ Elly told Fox News.

After caring for Cooper for six months the Keeganโ€™s put Cooper up for adoption. Elly was certain the โ€œhappiest dogโ€ would receive countless applications.

โ€œNobody wanted to adopt Cooper,โ€ she told The Dodo. โ€œAnd then we got an applicant. I think I broke down every other hour. I was like, โ€˜Andy, I donโ€™t know what weโ€™re going to do!โ€™ I couldnโ€™t imagine just handing him over and saying, โ€˜Ok, now be Cooperโ€™s family.โ€™โ€

They decided to adopt Cooper themselves.

Although he struggled in the beginning and still encounters some hiccups, Cooper is living his life to the fullest and helping his new forever home do the same.

โ€œWith our other rescues, there was no getting-to-know you period,โ€ Elly said. โ€œIt was a family from the beginning.โ€

โ€œMany dogs with conditions like Cooperโ€™s are euthanized which makes me so, so sad,โ€ she told Fox News. โ€œThey have so much living to do and Cooper is a real example of that. He has a happy, normal little life now and is a key member of our family.โ€

You can keep up with Cooperโ€™s adventures on his Facebook page. If you canโ€™t get enough of this sweet pooch who is โ€œshort on spine, big on love, share this article with your friends.
