My story

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

Meet Copper!

This handsome 2 year old boy has stolen our hearts with his fun-loving spirit and affectionate nature. Spend just a little time with him, and you’ll quickly see why he’s such a favorite around here.

Copper came to us from another rescue after having a tough start in life. He was found abandoned and underweight at a local lake, and while his early days weren’t easy, Copper has shown incredible resilience. With time, patience, and training, he’s blossomed into a bright, playful dog who is ready to find his forever person.

Copper is full of energy and curiosity—he loves to run, explore, and make every day an adventure. At our farm location, where he’s been working one-on-one with staff, he’s been learning important life skills like how to relax, how to channel his excitement, and how to be the best companion he can be. He’s come such a long way and is now more than ready to keep learning and growing with his new family.

We think Copper will thrive in a home with adults (and maybe dog-savvy teens) who can match his zest for life. He’s done well with other medium-to-large dogs, but because of his prey drive, a home without small animals is best. Copper is happiest with a balance of activity and downtime—he’ll gladly join you on a hike, but he’s equally happy entertaining himself with toys in a fenced yard.

And here’s a fun fact: Copper is a massage connoisseur. Head and neck rubs? Absolute bliss. Add in his love for toys, his goofy food preferences (fruits are a definite “no, thanks”), and his enthusiasm for people, and you’ve got a dog who’s as lovable as he is unique.

At just over 2 years old, Copper has his whole life ahead of him, filled with adventures, cuddles, and the joy of being someone’s best friend. Could that someone be you?
