Copper (aka Mongo)'s Story

Hi, I’m Copper--a 50 pound, 9 month old Ridgeback mix. I am up to date on all of my vaccines, heartworm negative, and neutered. I am house- and crate-trained. <br/>I’m a little shy at first but after I warm up, I’m the best friend you could ever find. I would be good with kids of any age since I’m so mild mannered. <br/>I’m working on training at Just Dog People and I’m learning all sorts of things like “touch”, “paws up”, and “place”. <br/>I’ll learn leash manners soon but I’m timid on a leash. <br/>I love my foster dog brothers and sisters and enjoy running in a fenced in yard. I haven’t been cat tested however, I have a very mild personality so with a proper introduction, I should be fine. <br/>I love to snuggle and I’m not quite aware of the fact that I’m not a lap dog. I love balls and toys, and I don’t mind sharing. <br/><br/>DOB ~5/13/25 <br/><br/>YouTube Playlist of Copper's videos and shorts: <br/>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTKk-3J0rnhgJwYQ3ibBTPH22HfPHp2vl <br/><br/>***PLEASE NOTE*** <br/>Are you interested in adopting this or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
