Rex NKA Copper - COME MEET!

Copper (formerly known as Rex) is a 4-year-old, 48 lb Australian Cattle Dog/Lab mix with a big heart and a strong sense of loyalty. He was originally adopted from us as a puppy, but due to changes in his current family’s lifestyle, Copper is looking for a new home that better suits his needs.<br/><br/>Copper is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves to snuggle and be near his people. He’s playful, enjoys toys and bones, and thrives on routine. True to his cattle dog roots, he keeps a close eye on his household “herd” and settles best when everyone is safe and accounted for. He will thrive in a home where he has a job to do, a predictable routine, and lots of love and attention. <br/><br/>Copper is crate-trained and loves his crate. It’s his safe space, where he relaxes completely, especially when home alone or overnight. He likes burrowing under blankets and does better at the vet with one over his head instead of a muzzle.<br/><br/>Copper is intelligent and eager to learn. He knows several commands including: sit, stay, lay down, back up, “go to bed,” and come. He loves mental stimulation by playing “find it” with toys or treats, using puzzle feeders, or chasing bubbles.<br/><br/>Copper does well with other dogs at doggy daycare and prefers meeting other dogs off-leash in neutral environments as he is protective of his own territory. He’s easily distracted off-leash, so a fenced yard or on-leash walks in quiet areas are ideal.<br/><br/>Copper is looking for an experienced, patient dog owner who understands working breeds and can give him a calm, structured environment. A home without children and with minimal visitors is best for him. He thrives in a low-key, stable setting.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big brain and an even bigger heart, Copper could be the perfect fit for you. Please complete an online application at www.foreverhomerescue.org to meet Copper with his family. He will not be at our open house events.<br/><br/>Adoption Coordinator: Carol<br/>Adoption Fee: Waived for the right home
