Copper is a gentle soul with a heart of gold who just needs a little time to feel safe. New people and unfamiliar situations can be overwhelming for him, so he tends to be very shy and cautious when first meeting someone. Copper prefers to take things at his own pace, quietly observing and building trust before showing his true personality. The good news is that once he begins to feel comfortable, his sweet nature starts to shine. He discovers that affection is actually pretty wonderful and will happily soak up gentle pets and attention from the people he trusts. Watching Copper grow more confident and open is incredibly rewarding, and the bond he forms is a special one built on patience and understanding. He's looking for a calm, loving home that will give him the time he needs to blossom into the affectionate companion waiting just beneath the surface.
