Like many other dogs, I started as a stray and needed some care before I could show my true self. I’m shy at first, but give me time and you’ll find I’m friendly, playful, and full of love. I walk politely on leash, don’t chew or counter surf, and I know basic commands like sit, down, and leave it (yep, I’m smart!). I’m crate trained, but mostly just snooze there by choice. Kids make me nervous, so I’d prefer a calm home without that energy. What I do love is other dogs—I have a wonderful doggie roommate and hope to have a new playmate in my forever home. Car rides, patio lounging, even storms? No problem. I may take a little while to warm up, but once I do, this Copper will shine brighter than Gold!
