About Copper

Copper is a lively 4.5-month-old male Dachshund weighing around 10 lbs. This playful pup was found as a stray and had a rough start but is now thriving in his foster home. He shows a strong enthusiasm for playtime, especially with active dogs or playful kittens; however, he's still learning boundaries during these interactions. Copper had some food guarding issues when he first arrived, but he’s made great strides as he gained weight and feels more secure. He enjoys spending time outdoors, especially enjoying the herbs in the garden, which he loves to munch on. Socially, Copper shines, greeting various people, including toddlers, with excitement. He seems to have a soft spot for men, particularly lighting up when his foster dad is around. This spirited pup would thrive best in an active home with someone who can invest the time to help him mature. He’s neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. His joyful personality is sure to enrich any home. Are you ready to welcome Copper into your family?
