My name is Copper *in foster*!

*You must already have a friendly, confident dog to adopt Copper!*

Copper is a 1-year-old Labrador with a heart full of love and a touch of shyness. This sweet, gentle boy is a certified cuddle enthusiast who bonds deeply with his people once he feels safe. While the world can be a little overwhelming for him, having a confident dog friend by his side makes all the difference.

Copper must go to a home with a friendly, confident dog to help show him the ropes and give him the courage he needs. With a buddy by his side, Copper blossoms-he's more willing to meet new people and even enjoys playful adventures. On his own, he's quite timid and may hide until he feels secure.

At home, Copper is house trained and loves to relax with his family, soaking up all the affection he can get. Once he's comfortable, his playful, energetic side shines-he's a big fan of hikes and other outdoor activities. He is house trained as long as he is kept on a routine. He is nervous of young kids and would likely do best in a home with teens and up. We do not know how he is with cats.

If you have a welcoming dog and a patient, loving heart, Copper might just be the perfect addition to your family. He's ready to trust, love, and thrive with the right support!
