Copper is looking for a loving forever home. This is not a decision I’m making lightly. I have had Copper for almost a year, and he has been an important part of my life.
I was recently diagnosed with mild scoliosis and patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), commonly known as runner’s knee. My knee gives out fairly often, which makes it difficult for me to safely manage a very energetic and strong dog. Copper is extremely energetic, and he has knocked me down a few times while playing or getting excited. Because of my physical limitations, I’m concerned that I could eventually get seriously hurt trying to manage him.
I also have a medical service dog who will remain with me. Copper’s rehoming is not because I don't care about him. I am making this decision because I believe my physical limitations are making it difficult for me to safely provide Copper with everything he needs.
Copper deserves a home where he can receive the time, attention, exercise, training, and structure he needs. He would do best with someone who is physically able to safely handle his energy level and give him plenty of appropriate exercise and stimulation.
What I’m Looking For
- A loving, responsible forever home
- Someone physically able to safely handle an energetic dog
- Copper must be kept indoors as a family dog
- He will not be used for hunting
- Plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and mental stimulation
- Proper food, veterinary care, vaccines, and preventatives
- Patience, kindness, training, and structure
- He must never be neglected, abused, abandoned, or left in unsafe conditions
- Someone who understands that taking Copper is a lifelong commitment
Because I have had Copper for almost a year, I care deeply about where he ends up. I want to make sure he goes to someone who genuinely wants him and is prepared to provide everything he needs.
I am not rehoming Copper because I don't love him. I am rehoming him because I believe finding him the right home is the responsible thing to do for both of us. ❤️
I will be selective about his new home and want to stay updated on how Copper is doing after he is rehomed.
