Pet of the Week: Copper

My name is Copper; I am an 11-month-old male Catahoula mix. When I first joined them, I was very skittish/scared of my surroundings, but they have helped me realize the world is not a scary place, and there is lots of love to be had! I’ve been learning dog manners from my foster siblings, whom I love to play with, and my foster parents have taught me that the world can be a fun place. I’m a brilliant dude who catches on quickly and is 100 percent potty trained. I am learning basic commands and have outgrown the puppy chewing stage. I absolutely love snuggles, and I take treats like a gentleman. Additionally, I do not have any aggressive behaviors. While I’m not a super high-energy dog, my foster siblings and I love a good game of chase and like to tumble around, so I’d probably do best in a home where I could have a playmate and a yard to burn off my energy. My foster siblings and parents have helped me gain confidence, and we are working on leash manners, which I’ve managed to pick up on very quickly. With my sweet nature and the care/patience of a loving family, I’m sure I’d be a great addition to your home. I would love to show you what a perfect dog I am becoming.
