My story

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

Copper is a new arrival. He got his name from his stunning copper coloring. Copper is about 2 years old. Not sure of the breed, but he is uniquely handsome with those stunning eyes. He only weighs 35 lbs and looks to have been starved. Copper didn’t deserve to get in this shape! It’s obvious he’s emaciated. On top of that he has a mild case of scoliosis (curvature of the spine caused either at birth or from trauma. He also walks with a limp. This poor dog had to have been abused and totally neglected. Regardless we will get him vetted and his ailments will be taken care of.

This lad is a a very special boy. He is one of the sweetest, most gentle dogs, and at the shelter he was a favorite! He stole a volunteer's heart when she was sitting at a desk, he came and put his head on my lap! He is timid at first and cautiously friendly, as he needs to develop trust. He sits for treats and takes them gently. He gives kisses. He’s calm and very alert. He has been dog tested and did fine. He is housebroken. Updates will be coming. We would appreciate any donation to help Copper!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

Go meet their pets

Please check out our website for the most up to date information on our events. We normally have an adoption event each weekend. If you are seriously considering adopting from us PLEASE complete an application prior to the event as that will get the process moving faster!!

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
