Story
Copper is a good-looking 4-year old male Treeing Walker Coonhound who was brought to HSOV on January 11, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found him on Twin Bridges Road in the Little Hocking Ohio area. Copper was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.
This handsome guy has a white short smooth coat with patch of black on both of his sides, long legs, a long tail, and a beautiful tricolor symmetrically-marked Coonhound face. Copper has cute freckles on his muzzle and magnificent brown velvet ears that just beg to be petted.
These photos were taken on January 12, 2026 when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied Copper for outdoor pictures and a chance to stretch his long legs and follow his nose. Copper doesn't appear to have been introduced to the 'walking on a leash' concept, but he thoroughly enjoyed his 15-minutes of fame running laps around Emily (smile). Copper is also good with children.
Copper weighs 39.2 lbs and could easily gain a few pounds to fill out his slim trim physique.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Copper was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for this awesome boy.
Copper was neutered on February 23, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine.
Copper went home with a foster family this afternoon (April 26, 2026) so that he could enjoy the hospitality and comfort of a real home environment while he waits for someone to adopt him and give him a forever home. Copper is still available for adoption through HSOV. If you would like to meet Copper in person, please complete/submit an HSOV adoption application and the shelter will arrange a meeting with this awesome boy.
Update 5/2/2026: Copper returned to our shelter on May 2, 2026 after enjoying a wonderful vacation in his foster family's home. Copper is good with children, other dogs, and seems not to pay attention to cats. Copper was a bit too energetic when playing with the small dog in his foster family's home, and they felt he needed a larger yard for playtime and exercise.
Happy Update! Copper was adopted on May 16, 2026).
Update 9/11/2026: Copper was brought to HSOV after he was found on Crooked Tree Road in the Dexter City Ohio area by a Good Samaritan. Fortunately, Copper was microchipped, so he was held on a 14-day stray hold so that his adopter would have an opportunity to reclaim him.
Unfortunately, Copper was not reclaimed so he is once again looking for a fabulous forever home.
