Pet of The Week- Copper!


Hi there! I'm Copper and you are my new best friend!


In fact, everyone I meet is my best friend because I love humans big and small!


I'm an energetic boy with a heart of gold. I also love playing with other dogs, and I've got some pretty sweet wrestling moves but I'm doing good at learning my boundaries when I'm being too rough.


I was found as a stray and a super nice family brought me here to the shelter. I love going for walks and following my nose to new adventures.


Maybe we could be adventure buddies, whatcha think??
