Meet the remarkable Copen! This enchanting Australian Cattle Dog mix, about 2 years young and weighing around 45 pounds, is on a journey to find his forever home. Copen has a history that could bring tears to anyone's eyes. Abandoned by a backyard breeder, he found himself in a high-kill shelter, but now he’s ready to embrace the love and warmth a real family can bring. 💖 Copen may take his time to warm up, but oh, is it worth the wait! While he can be skittish around loud sounds and fast movements, he’s got a heart of gold waiting to shine. 🌟 He’s selective about his furry friends and can be submissive around other dogs. With the right introductions and supervision, he might just find a perfect pal to share his adventures with! This sweet boy is crate and house trained, proving that he’s eager to learn and adapt. He needs a patient family who can help him build confidence through love and training, ensuring he thrives in his new environment. Remember, no cats allowed, but Copen is all in for doggie friendships! 🐕 Copen also prefers a calm household, ideally with children aged 12 and up, due to his need for a stable and quiet atmosphere. Imagine creating a new world together where Copen learns to trust, explore, and relish in the joys of companionship. Are you ready to weave this beautiful tale with him? If Copen has captured your heart like he has for many, dive in and *apply through the Buddy App*! Not only is he a true gem, but he deserves a loving family that will cherish him forever. Copen's adoption donation of $450 includes all the essential vetting—he’s up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and ready to embark on a new journey with you! Catahoula Rescue of New England is an incredible all-volunteer group dedicated to the well-being of animals like Copen. All dogs are fostered with love and care by amazing volunteers. So what are you waiting for? Copen can’t wait to meet you, but you have to *apply through the Buddy App* to bring this darling boy home! ❤️🐾
