Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Copper (AKA Copper II) came to us in 2019 from a kennel in Maine. Since his arrival, he has been a fan favorite at the kennel. Between his charming good looks and friendly disposition, it's easy to see why.
Copper is an 11 year old sled dog who is ready to retire and give house life a try. This gentle giant still enjoys going on adventures and would be a great outdoor buddy for someone who is medium energy.
During his time with us, Copper has always gotten along fantastic with children. He also gets along well with female dogs, but tends to be male dog selective. We don't have cats, or small animals, so we are unsure how he may do in a home with them.
Overall, Copper has been an "easy keeper" and is generally a low maintenance fella who is always happy to receive a treat and affection. He would be a wonderful family dog.
Things To Consider Before Adopting A Sled Dog:
- They are used to living in an outdoor, working environment. This means that they will need to be house trained and exposed to “house stimulus” like stairs, cars, vacuums, wood floors etc. Adopting an adult sled dog is similar to welcoming a puppy.
- They typically range from medium to high energy. In general they require multiple walks daily and engaging toys when inside the home. A bored/under exercised sled dog is a destructive and anxious sled dog!
- They are trained to run and are therefore a high flight risk. We do require that they be on leash or within a fenced in yard at all times until proper recall training has been received.
- While they have befriended many kitties in their new homes, we do not have small animals at the kennel to gauge their reactions and safety to them.

We have a comprehensive adoption process that includes: a questionnaire/application, reference check, in person meetings, etc. We understand that this process may seem lengthy, but we want to ensure everyone both two and four legged is being setup for success. Our adoption fee is $250 and covers: health certificate, microchip, DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines, and spay or neuter.
