Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Copa is a 1 year old male who came into the shelter on 7/27 as a stray.

SEPTEMBER - Copa was bouncing on his bed in his cage like a toddler - more than ready to get outside and run around. He can be very focused on other dogs when outside, but I found a fun squeaky toy for him to play with and that took his attention away from all the doggos. That toy was all he needed today. He wasn't interested in treats or pets - just running and rolling in the grass with his toy. Copa is an energetic guy who would benefit from an active adopter who can give him plenty of playtime each day.
Copa has started to attend dog playgroup. He was social with the dogs he was paired with and enjoyed a little chase in play.
AUGUST - After Copa hypnotizes you with his beautiful black lips (usually in an upside down smile) and the cutest tri-colored ear, he seals the deal with his lively personality. Even though he had a go slow note, once his stray hold was over he was more than ready to come out, he practically leashes himself. Outside he can be stubborn when he wants to smell something for 10 minutes but he’s thankfully a lightweight and can be moved if necessary. Copa was camera shy when showing off his sit but he can do it very well. Plus he wasn’t very motivated by my treats either but his stomach was upset.
It only took a brief introduction in the run before Copa was invading my personal space. He loves to be close, sitting on your lap in every possible way. He didn’t show any interest in toys and seemed distracted when other dogs passed by. The first time going back in his kennel was tough for him, but now he gets the drill and knows there will be a next time.
