Copper is an adult male mixed breed. He is a very high energy boy that thrives on structure. He will require a home where they provide that structure and plenty of various exercise outlets as well. He is a quick learner, very eager to please his people and loves to have a job or play fetch. He is good with most dogs but with his energy a meet and greet is recommended since not all dogs appreciate his enthusiasm levels. He is also good with cats, ducks and chickens. Copper would do best in a very active home and older children are a must due to his energy. Copper would do well with agility, flyball and long walks and hikes to help channel his enthusiasm and energy. Come on out for a meet and greet with Copper! He is waiting for you.
