My story

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



Meet Copper - Your Playful, Affectionate Sidekick

Copper is a 1-year-8-month-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix with a big heart
and an even bigger personality. This friendly guy loves everyone he meets
and is always ready to show his affection. He knows `sit` and `down,` enjoys
fetching toys, and is happiest when he`s moving and exploring.

Copper can be jumpy and pulls hard on leash, but a harness makes walks much
easier. He will need continued training to improve his leash manners and
reinforce good behavior.

His previous owner reported he was housebroken, loved car rides, and was
friendly with adults and kids. He`s not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home
is best. He`s not destructive and has never escaped, making him a reliable
and affectionate companion for the right family.

Copper was surrendered due to some territorial issues with another dog in
his previous home, and he was briefly adopted again but was too big for that
family. In shelter testing, he was playful with other dogs, so a
meet-and-greet is recommended. Recommended for kids 12+.

Copper is looking for a loving home where he can play, learn, and be a
loyal, energetic friend for years to come.
