My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Hi there! My name is Copper and this is my second time here. I first came here as an 11-week-old puppy. Soon I was adopted to a wonderful family who taught me a lot of cool things--the mom was a dog trainer! But, she soon discovered that her younger sister (who lives there) is allergic to dogs, so I was returned. We were all very sad about it. But, my mom said this about me: "Copper is crate-trained and won't potty in it, and he's trained to ring bells on the door to go outside. He knows sit and down. He was trained that 2 claps mean to come or also say "here". He knows "leave it" but sometimes you have to say it a couple times. He is will jump a little when super excited but saying "off" keeps him down. He'll fetch and bring it back and he lets you take it. Copper is amazing with children. Doesn't jump or get crazy around them."
Not much to add except that I am playful, cute and love to cuddle. My dream home have a fenced yard to take me for walks, continue to train me and want me to truly be part of the family! I'm only 6 months old, so if you are looking for a family pup to grow up with your kids, I'm the perfect choice!"
NOTE: Copper has an odd-shaped head, but it doesn't affect him in any way. He's learns well and the vet has given him a clean bill of health!
