About Copper

Copper is a charming 14-year-old who weighs 50 lbs and embodies the spirit of a gentleman. Once a stray, he faced challenges in the shelter system but remained friendly and calm throughout.

Though many may overlook a senior dog, those who appreciate the wisdom and love of an older companion will find in Copper a loyal friend ready to enrich their lives. He’s in good health for his age, shows no signs of pain, and has adjusted well to his new surroundings. With a relaxed demeanor, he gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children alike. Copper simply longs for comfy spots to rest, some strolls, and a warm human to share love and cuddles with. For those able to open their hearts and home, Copper promises to return the affection tenfold. The adoption fee has been waived, making it even easier to bring this golden boy into your family.
