Story
Copper is a handsome six-year-old Basset/Beagle mix with a big personality, a loud hound voice, and a whole lot of love to give! This sweet, loyal guy is quite the gentleman around the house, waiting for an invitation before hopping onto the couch or bed, where he`ll happily snuggle up right beside you. He`s an active, curious boy who loves walks, car rides, and exploring new places, and he would much rather be your copilot on errands than stay home without you. Don`t let those short legs fool you, though; Copper is surprisingly fast and agile!Copper is a smart fellow who knows how to sit, is housetrained, and does well in his crate when left home alone for a few hours. He`s happiest with a few miles of walking and activity each day, although he can get overly excited and needs help settling down when overstimulated. A calm voice, a little reassurance, and a few minutes to decompress can make all the difference. He`s also a true scent hound with a strong prey drive, so squirrels and rabbits are particularly exciting, and he`ll occasionally let you know his opinion of the mailman or other interesting passersby with his impressive hound voice!Copper is looking for an experienced, active adult home without young children, where he can enjoy plenty of attention, exercise, and adventures with his favorite person. He would do best as your one-and-only dog, although he may be compatible with a calm, mature canine companion who respects his space and doesn`t expect constant playtime. He`s sensitive to sudden movements and loud noises, and his excitement can sometimes turn into mouthiness, so he`ll need someone who understands his need for structure, patience, and help managing overstimulation.If you`re looking for a devoted sidekick who will keep you company, make you laugh, and happily curl up beside you after a day of adventures, Copper is ready to meet you! Contact BROOD today to meet Copper! His adoption fee is $250.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions).
