Meet Copper
Copper is a cheerful, loving, and friendly gentleman who just wants to show you his toys and give you a big snuggle! He is 7 years old, is about 25 lbs and is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He enjoys a pleasant little walk, is a fetch maniac, and will show off his toys with wild growls and silly short-legged dances. What he loves the most is to cuddle with you with his stubby tootsies in the air! He's also very handsome and gets noticed wherever he goes. While he is settling in, he does have big barky feelings about many things (strangers outside, needs more petting, THE BALL!) and will tell you loudly, so he will need time to get used to the noises of his new house and the routines. Because of this, shared walls are a no-no. However, once he settles in, he is much more laid back. He also has concerns about grabby hands at his food dish, but gives up his toys nicely and take treats in a gentle way. He is stubborn sometimes (he IS a corgi!), but very solid with "come" and "stay" and he has had no accidents in the foster home. He likes a car ride and settles right down in the car crate til we get to our destination. He is potty trained, crate trained, and sleeps on a dog bed or on the human bed (where he needs at least 15 minutes of hugs and belly rubs every evening.) He had issues with the toddler in his last home and so to set him up for success, he must go to a home with no children now or in the future, and no visiting children under 12. To date, he has been an only dog. He has spent time with a smaller female dog and they did great, and he would enjoy a little dog friend to show him all the good sniff spots. He is cautious around larger dogs. He has not been tested with cats. He is neutered, HW- and up-to-date with shots. He is an excellent boy, and will be very happy sharing his superstar personality with his forever family.
