About Copper
Meet Copper, an adorable 8-year-old, 15-pound Poodle on the lookout for a calm and loving home. Rescued from a puppy mill, he’s slowly discovering the joys of life, and each day, his sweet personality shines a little brighter. Copper loves being close to his people, whether he’s following around his foster mom, soaking up some sun, or cuddling on the couch. There’s a special charm to watching him carefully hide pieces of food under his blanket in his crate, treating them like little treasures. Copper thrives on a stress-free routine. His day typically includes outdoor strolls, plenty of lounging, and relaxing evenings beside his family. Although he’s low-energy and doesn’t show much interest in toys, his affectionate nature more than compensates. He is crate trained and settling in after a few moments of whining when left alone, plus he’s making solid progress on his potty training. Due to his past experiences, Copper can be shy and startled by sudden movements. He’ll thrive in a quieter home, ideally with older children or adults who can help him build confidence with patience and love. He’s dog-friendly and appreciates the company of other canine friends, though he may initially be a bit timid around them. If you’re searching for a companion who is easygoing and full of love, Copper could be the perfect match for you. He’s ready to give endless loyalty and cozy snuggles in exchange for a peaceful home and gentle care. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
