COPPER's Story

Copper (A137207) is a 1-year-and-11-month-old Pitbull x Catahoula mix who weighed 72.9 pounds on intake! 12/30/25 This handsome boy is Copper! Copper was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of his own, but sadly, because his owners ran into housing issues with these cold temperatures. Copper was described as outgoing and friendly! However, it was noted that he has a rough style of play. He did well with the children in his last home but can be skeptical of strangers. Making appropriate introductions with new people is important to help set him up for success. It was noted that Copper can be selective with the company of dogs he keeps. He came from the same house as Simon (another available pup) and they were said to be best buds. Ensuring that you make slow, safe, and controlled introductions with all dogs is very important. He was stated to chase after cats and poultry. Copper should go to a home without tempting small critters to chase after. He is a smart boy and would appreciate a home that can keep him both mentally and physically stimulated. He would also benefit from attending a basic obedience class to continue working on his manners. Copper was said to be kennel trained and is mostly housebroken but still has the occasional accident. He is looking for a patient owner who will continue to work with him. If you are interested in meeting Copper, please let us know! 01/14/25 This talkative boy is Copper! Copper was surrendered to the shelter because his owner had received noise complaints about him and, due to apartment living, felt they could not manage it. He was said to be a wonderful boy – amazing – but very vocal. Copper was said to do great with people and loves babies and children! He was also said to do well with dogs and had even previously lived with two cats! Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with any and all new potential friends! Copper was also said to be kennel trained, housebroken, and rides well in a car. However, his prior owner did note that he does not always mind the best and likes to jump up on people. Copper would benefit from attending a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on his manners! If you are interested in meeting Copper, please let us know!
