Copper (aka Mongo)

Hi. I’m Copper, a handsome brown/black puppy--they say I might be a Rhodesian ridgeback mix. I was born in the woods to a stray momma around 5/13/25. Mom left us at about 5 weeks old; but a really nice person fed my siblings and got them to a rescue. Sadly, I was in hiding and was missed. By the time they found me and got me to the rescue, I was half the size of my siblings. But with good care and food, I’m now just as big! <br/><br/>I’m learning all about nice people, dogs, and even cats. Indoor living is amazing. We play, wrestle, cuddle, go on walks, eat, and sleep. Oh, and potty. I’m working on house training. My foster mom says I’m supposed to potty outside, but I prefer playing. No worries, I’ll get it figured out soon. I am a little shy to new things, but if you take the time to help me learn, I’ll do fine. They say I’m all ready to be adopted. Could it be with you? <br/><br/>***PLEASE NOTE*** This pup has not yet been altered and requires an extra $100 spay/neuter deposit. JCAPL will pay for the procedure at a partner clinic and once completed, the deposit will be refunded to the adopter. However, a non-local adopter is required to pay for the spay/neuter at their own veterinarian by a specific date. After proof of the procedure is provided, $50 of the adoption fee will be refunded with the deposit. *** <br/><br/>Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
