Copper's Story

Copper is about 4.5 months old, and currently weighs about 10 lbs.<br/><br/>Foster says "He was originally found as a stray in Anza and taken to Riverside County animal shelter in Coachella Valley, he was 7 lbs at that point (7/30/26). I adopted him as a medical waiver pup as the shelter had him red listed for having hives and being emaciated.<br/><br/>Copper has a very playful personality. He definitely is still a puppy, but is a bit obsessed with mounting and trying to be on top. I think he would do well with another active dog that loves to rough house.<br/><br/>He loves to play with my 5 month old kittens, but is getting too much for them too. I sent out a dna test that is pending so whoever adopts him can know what kind of mix they're getting.<br/><br/>He had a food aggression issue when he first came as a starving skinny puppy, but that has been resolved as he has gained weight and been given access freely to food. He does still have some issues with resource guarding of high value toys and chews.<br/><br/>He didn't know what grass was initially, and now he just loves to sit in my herb beds of oregano and sage and munch on it. He has met a lot of different people on outings to pet stores and at home. He has done well with intros to everyone even a toddler.<br/><br/>He does seem to favor men. He loves everyone, but when my dad comes over he lights up and gets so excited. So, a home with an active family that has a man that loves to play with him would be ideal.<br/><br/>I got him a flirt pole to use on days when I can't walk him (too hot, etc) and he loves it. I would be happy to put together a care pack of all of his favorite things for the adopter. His other remaining issue is the payful hand nipping, but that is pretty common for puppies. His "mouthiness" has much improved in recent weeks.<br/><br/>He is neutered, microchipped, and has had his rabies, bordetella, and 2 of the dapp vaccines. I plan to get his 3rd next week so he will have all 3. Foster is located in Yucaipa, but would be happy to transport him to his future home.<br/><br/>This puppy needs a home where someone is around to help him continue to mature and grow up.<br/><br/>dachshundrescueoflosangeles.com/adoption-application
