Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.)   Copper is a 5 year old, high energy 48 pound purebred border collie who recently lost the loving home he had since puppyhood. This gorgeous blue merle boy came into rescue and hasn’t looked back. His sweet sister, Charlie, is in a separate Mo-Kan foster home. Copper loves people of all ages, especially children. He is not good with cats. Copper was used to being an outdoor dog and is learning that there are different rules indoors. He is very puppylike: perpetually happy, curious, and runs everywhere instead of walking. Copper responds best to gentle touch and calmly delivered commands. He is a blank slate, and eager to please! He is crate trained and runs in preemptively to get a treat, which he takes treats very gently. “Copper, come!” appears to be his favorite command. He thinks he is a lap dog and is learning to sit for affection instead of jumping up for it. Copper walks moderately well on a leash and is learning to stay to one side of his person. He enjoys outings to our local dog park for the people who pet him as much as the dogs he runs with. He is very skilled at reading and reacting appropriately to new dog friends and takes their feedback well. Copper would do best in a home with a consistent routine. Having been an outdoor dog after his first year of life, he is re-learning potty training. He is crated during the workday with a mid-day dogsitter break while his foster is at work and keeps his kennel clean. He loves being outside, running in a yard and wrestling with his 55 pound housemate, so a fenced yard and a dog companion are preferred. Copper is not good with cats and is hyper focused on chickens. A home without cats or caged small pets is a must. If he sounds like a great addition to your family, complete an adoption application on the Mo-Kan website. Copper is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 30, 2025, 4:01 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.)   I'm Sasuke (pronounced Sah-zoose-key - like the motorcycle!) My favorite thing in the whole wide world is to be with my person. Second only to that is playing with my foster brother, Anderson (Andy for short). He had a tough start in life, and I’ve gotten to help him learn how to be a puppy. As for toys, nothing’s better than a stick off a backyard tree. I also have a few toys that my former family gave me and with which I still love to play – my squeaky, stuffed Gameboy is the best. I get along great with other dogs. The neighbor dog has stayed with us a few times when his family has gone on trips. We get along really well! My foster mom is an 11-year-old border collie, who is also a MoKan rescue and who was great at helping me learn my way around my foster home, especially around dinner time. We thought I might have some food aggression issues, but my human has put each of our bowls in separate spots at mealtimes, and we’ve had no issues. So far, I’ve gotten along with all the humans I’ve met. I haven’t had any interaction with young kids. I understand basic commands like come, sit, give, and I am sure I can learn a lot more. Regarding my forever home, I would love a place where I can hop up on the couch and bed and snuggle with my human. I am a terrific cuddler. I’m sure I would be happy in a home where I’m the only dog. I’d be equally happy if I have a brother or sister dog. I’ve got lots of energy. Hey, I’m a border collie, but I’ve not expressed that energy in any negative way. In chewing on things, I keep to my toys…not furniture or clothing. Going on walks or to the park will be wonderful. Rest time is great, too. Sasuke is being fostered in the Kansas City area.Click here to watch a video of Sasuke.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 25, 2025, 3:13 pm
