Story
Introducing Copper!
Affectionate Gentle Playful Initially Shy
Personality: Copper is a sweet Dane who may be shy at first, but once he feels safe, his affectionate and silly nature begins to shine. He’s calm, kind, and loves being included in the daily routine. A creature of habit, he thrives in consistency and finds comfort in knowing what to expect.
Socialness: Copper gets along well with everyone in his foster home. He’s submissive with other dogs and respectful of their space, often waiting for them to initiate interaction. He hasn’t been around cats, so slow and structured introductions will be needed. He responds well to slow, structured introductions with new people. Due to some resource guarding around toys (which his foster has diligently been working on), older children or those with experience around large dogs would be best.
Likes & Dislikes:
Loves zoomies and playing with other dogs
Enjoys toys, snuggling, and car rides
Dislikes raised voices and nail trims
Training: Copper is crate trained, housebroken, and does not destroy bedding or toys. He can comfortably be left alone during a typical 8-hour workday. He knows the commands sit, come, down, shake, and leave it. He is leash trained, incredibly smart, eager to please, and responds very well to positive reinforcement.
Health: Copper is in great health with no current concerns. He does seem to have a beef sensitivity, so he’s currently on chicken-based food and treats with success.
Forever Home Wishlist:
A fenced yard is preferred
An apartment or apartment-style setting could be fine, as he's quiet and well-mannered
A family committed to continuing his progress with toy/food guarding
Older children or an adult-only home
Another dog companion would be a plus, especially one who matches his gentle energy
