Copen is a young Australian Cattle Dog mix with a red and white short coat, currently in Warren, ME. He's about two years old and has already been neutered, microchipped, and is fully up to date on his vaccinations. Copen is crate and house trained, which makes the transition home easier. He can be skittish with loud noises or fast movement, taking some time to warm up to new people. He's submissive with other dogs and can be selective, so a potential dog sibling would need a slow, careful introduction and ongoing supervision. Copen does not get along with cats. While his behavior with children is unknown, a home with older kids (12 and up) is best. Copen is still learning about life in a stable home—his prior experience with a backyard breeder and time in a shelter left him without much confidence. He will need a family ready to invest in training and patient encouragement to help him thrive. The right adopter will be someone who can offer structure and understanding as Copen builds trust and adapts to home life. Start your journey together! Apply now.
