Hello Hoomans. I am Copper, a dog. I am told I am a mix of Boston Terrier and Yummy. I know this is true because my Foster Mom (FM) told me and she never lies. She also says I am 5 years old and have the most gorgeous eyes ever. She calls me Hollywood because she says I am ready for the big screen.
I weigh 35 pounds which I shouldn’t have to tell you, is absolutely perfect. I am too big to step on but can be picked up (if you must) and I fit on your lap or next to you just right!!
My Mama died recently- very suddenly- so no plans were made for my brother Tigger and me. I have been sad because I am the sensitive, more introverted of the two of us. As a result of this trauma, I am longing for peace and quiet. Tigger would like to be an only child because he isn’t always a good sharer but he does well with me. What I can’t handle is high energy, noise, motion. I would do fine with Tigger or as an only dog in a quiet household. Quiet kids, if there is such a thing. My FM's Grandkids are gentle and like to cuddle on the couch (11 and 12) so I could handle that. I also think being an only child would be great. I have lived with cats and that’s fine. I just hope there is a place on someone’s lap for me.
I took a little while to warm up here but now I love the attention from my hooman (FM) and getting treats, learning tricks and just having a safe place to rest. If that sounds like a good deal to you, please call my FM and talk about me with her.
We live in Albuquerque and you can reach her there. 505-857-0012. Land line so no texts. Thanks and hope to hear from you.
The quiet one, Copper

We require an application, home visit and follow-up visit. Any of our rescues who need re-homing after placement are accepted back into our rescue.
There is an adoption fee of $200-$300 depending upon age, health, purebred or not, etc. to help defray the costs for the dog's medical expenses. Our dogs are spayed/neutered and microchipped. They have been Heart worm tested. They have the necessary vaccinations. They are also housebroken and come with some good manners training.

Myths: Dalmatians are hyper.
Truth: Young Dals can be full of mischief and can be amazingly active. So have a plan for rigorous exercise for your nine to 24 month old puppy. It can be I in your back yard as you throw the tennis ball a thousand times to tire them.Play dates with friendly and safe dogs is great ( no dog park. Young dogs are often picked on). When you are gone from home, they are safest being crated or in an Exercise pen. They are NOT backyard dogs. Between 12 months and two years they settle down down quite a bit, still needing exercise but more moderate routine. Dals need a routine exercise plan and we don't place very young Dals with folks who are gone all day unless another playful dog is around to channel the young Dal's energy.
Myth: Dalmatians aren't good with kids.
Truth: Dallys usually love kids and can be a great part of the family. Young Dals can be too boisterous and bouncy around tiny toddlers and knock them down. But they are very easy to train. Lyn was raised with a Dal and learned to walk by using Dutchess as a mobile walker. Lyn's children were raised with Dallys underfoot.
Myth: Dalmatians don't like other dogs. - or cats...well, ask the seven dallies at my house how they feel about their canine siblings. They love to have playmates and cuddlebuddies. They often do best in a home with another active, people oriented dog. To live with cats, they need an introduction and to be taught good manners (no chasing) right from the start. It helps if the cat is calm and unlikely to dash about at first. My cats and dogs snuggle together.

More about this rescue
We have been in rescue since 1997. Lyn teaches Obedience and plays Agility, Rally, and Nosework, competing with her Dalmatians in Performance sports as well as doing rescue.
We have had more than 600 Dalmatians come through our rescue, usually spending 2-4months in our home. Our Dallys are inside, couch dogs and, while crate trained, spend most of their hours in the house sunning, snoozing, and playing.
We primarily rescue Dalmatians and Dalmatian wanna- be
(Black and white dogs of undetermined breeds) from our Animal Control and other kill shelters around New Mexico, El Paso, and occasionally from individuals.
