My story

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

Hi, Iandamp;#39;m Copper!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a hunk of a boy with a kind soul AND I LOVE andamp;quot;my babiesandamp;quot; (aka: stuffed toys). Yup, I enjoy having andamp;quot;my babiesandamp;quot; with me plus throw a tennis ball and I would be happy to return it to you so you will throw it again. Iandamp;#39;m not obnoxious about it so do not fear! andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;As you can see in my video, I am fine with dogs of all sizes - even itty-bitty dogs. Maybe you have an itty-bitty dog and youandamp;#39;re thinking of getting a bigger dog. Maybe you have a big dog and youandamp;#39;re thinking of getting another one. Maybe you donandamp;#39;t have any dogs and youandamp;#39;re thinking of getting one. Iandamp;#39;d be thrilled with any of those scenarios. Iandamp;#39;m very flexible.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Shelter living was NOT for me! I am one of the lucky ones and a wonderful lady said she wanted to be my foster mom (FM). Ahhhhhhh - such a relief to be in a nice, loving home with a FM that loves me. Loves ME! A joyful boy who responds to commands such as andamp;quot;sitandamp;quot;, andamp;quot;downandamp;quot; and andamp;quot;comeandamp;quot;. Iandamp;#39;m also kennel trained and of course, house trained. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;ve been through many changes in the last few weeks. It is tough for a dog or anyone who has so many changes in their life. FM reports that my true personality is slowly coming out. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Wanna meet me? I sure would love to meet you! So, call the shelter and letandamp;#39;s make it happen!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love,andlt;br/andgt;Copperandlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;

We are reserving Mondays and Tuesdays for appointments for members of the public who are immunocompromised or are still uncomfortable being in large crowds due to COVID-19.

Adoption Requirements:
- Adopter must be 18 years of age or older.
- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
