Copper SPECIAL SUMMER DISCOUNT Chihuahua Mix Arlington, VA

This dog is a part of our Summer $25 Adoption Fee Promotion! In an effort to keep up with the high rescue demand this summer, we are discounting many dog adoption fees to $25! Note- standard adoption screening interview and reference checks still apply!

In an effort to save more lives, HT is allowing expedited adoptions for certain animals if applicants bring required paperwork. You can bring your new family member home more quickly by bringing your current pets' vet records, a copy of your lease or landlord letter stating you are permitted to have pets, and photos of your home. Help us help you adopt more quickly!

Foster Update (12/5): "Copper is a very sweet-hearted little guy, but he is also a very nervous dog. He isn’t a fan of loud noises and sudden movements. It takes him longer to be comfortable with strangers, and he can be a little timid and shy away when it comes to being approached. Despite this, he does enjoy the company of those he knows and feels comfortable around, and he becomes extremely bonded to his people after time. He adores going on walks in quiet neighborhoods. He has lived with both dogs and cats before, and gotten along well with both. He is working on his confidence in his foster home and learning that life doesn’t have to be so scary. He would do best in a quiet adult only home with a second confident dog to show him the ropes. Copper’s forever family will need to give him the time and patience he needs to open up and trust again.."

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.
