My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey! I'm Copper! I am a handsome 3-year-old Beagle that was surrendered because my family was moving and couldn't take me with them. That being said, I am looking for a new forever home to call my own! I love to play and go for walks, but I also love to settle down in your lap and snuggle on the couch! I am super sweet with people and have lived with kids of all ages! I have also lived with dogs in the past, but I do tend to get protective of my people, so not all dogs would be a good fit for me. We can always meet and see if we are a good fit first! I also have lived with cats, but I will definitely bark at them and get up in their face. One thing that makes me a bit special is that I have something called tracheal collapse which requires me to be walked on a harness at all times here at the shelter. Here is what the vet team here has to say about my condition:


"This pet is suspected to have a condition called tracheal collapse. Tracheal collapse is a chronic, progressive, irreversible disease of the trachea, or windpipe, and lower airways (mainstem bronchi collapse).

Tracheal collapse is a progressive disease, as the tracheal cartilage can continue to deteriorate over time despite treatment. Even pets who have surgery for the condition may need medications for life. The prognosis will depend on how well your dog responds to treatment. This animal will require continued care, so it is strongly recommended to contact your veterinarian to form a management plan.

As the new owner, you will assume ALL financial responsibility for the future medical care of your pet. It is recommended to talk to your regular veterinarian regarding any needed future care, before you make the decision to adopt this pet."


I would really love a home to call my own! Could you be the one to give me that? I would really love to break free from the shelter!

Additional adoption info

Please call shelter for adoption pricing.

HSSC places animals on a first come, first serve basis. After an animal that is available for adoption has been met with, the animal’s name can be put on an application. Animals that are applied for must be adopted the same day or within 24 hours of the animal being placed on the adoption application. Exceptions will be made if any animal needs a medical procedure, but then will need to be adopted within 24 hours of being cleared from that procedure. HSSC reserves the right to accommodate alternate timelines for special needs/behavioral issue animals.
It is the potential adopter's responsibility to communicate with their landlord to contact HSSC for approval or to provide documentation stating permission within 24 hours of application submission.
It is also the potential adopter's responsibility to produce a current rabies certificate for their current dog(s) to conduct a dog to dog meet and greet within 24 hours of application submission.
