Story
Copper is a medium size dog, great temperament and loves people. He was adopted from a rescue in Nebraska in May. Copper has been neutered and is 7 months old. He is house trained and crate trained. He loves to play and spend time outdoors. We are looking for a new home for Copper because we just don’t have the time to spend with him and he loves interaction and going for walks. He is super smart and loves treats for being a good boy. Adoption fee is negotiable, we want Copper to find the best forever home.
