My personality

My story

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

Meet Copper!
34 lbs
Approx age 6-7 months
Male
Red heeler mix

Do you love a success story?? Do you also hate to be alone, love to be touched every second, and want a dog to gaze lovingly at you every time you glance in their direction? Then Copper is the guy for you! This heeler mix started life in horrible conditions, and was likely never in a home for the first months of his life. His family was saved in the literal 11th hour, and Copper made his way to Illinois be begin his Good Boy training.

The last few weeks he has been working on his manners, maintaining a clean home, and socializing. His recall is great, and he would probably excel at agility training.

A good home for Copper would meet his need for working his body and mind. Herding dog experience is a plus, but just like dogs, owners can be trained as well.

If you have love, patience, and a good pair of walking shoes, Copper might be the handsome pup you have been looking for.
