Story
Hello! My name is Sesame Bean and my delicate but distinctly nutty personality set me apart from the crowd! I am very sociable and love to meet new people! In my spare time, I can be found chewing on my favorite toy while I look around waiting for the action to happen. I am not sure what action, but I am ready for it! I would be the perfect fit for an active household that can help keep me entertained. I enjoy being around other dogs, but am perfectly content to entertain myself as well, My curiosity has led me to be a very fast learner. I am fully kennel and potty trained. If I sound like the pal for your home, I would love to meet you!--------------------------------------------"Summer Lovin' Promo" For applications received now through 07/31/2026, Warrior Dog Rescue is reducing the adoption fee of all pups.

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 If you think Copper will be a great addition to your family, please reach out to us by following one of the options below. 1. If you have already completed the adoption or foster application process and have been approved by UMGDR, please contact Copper’s Placement Coordinator at callie@thegreatdanerescue.com to express interest. 2.

Likes: Long walks (at least 3 miles daily) Outdoor adventures Enjoys affection from her people Calm environments Positive reinforcement She loves the structure of a predictable routine Dislikes: Loud or stern voices Having her feet or tail handled Chaotic environments.

MEDICAL HOLD - STILL ACCEPTING INTEREST Introducing Scooby Doo!
