Meet Copper, a 1½-year-old Chihuahua with a gentle temperament and an affectionate nature. He is a friendly young dog who greatly desires human attention and companionship, though he is still building the confidence to readily seek it out. Copper benefits from a calm, patient environment where he is given time to feel secure and comfortable. Once he begins to trust his surroundings, his sweet and loving personality becomes more apparent, and he shows a strong desire to bond with his caregivers. With consistent reassurance and a patient adopter, Copper is expected to continue to grow in confidence and make a devoted and rewarding companion. Copper has tested positive for heartworm disease and will require a follow up on 09/20/26. He has began the "slow kill" method for heartworm disease using Proheart 6 injection and Doxycycline.
