Copper - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Ada, Minnesota

Meet Copper, a stunning 3-year-old black tricolor Miniature American Shepherd that is a tad bit overweight to say the least, but is ready to be your devoted companion! At 58 pounds, I'm a medium-sized girl with a happy personality and a friendly spirit that'll win you over in no time. I'm spayed and looking for a home with a fenced yard where I can settle in as your ultimate couch potato and velcro sidekick - I'll follow you from room to room because, honestly, where you go, I go. My adoption fee is $400, and I'm ready to bring joy and loyalty to my forever family. Come meet me and let's start our adventure together!

While this happy go lucky girl is here at the rescue she is quickly whipping up into shape playing with the other aussies in the gang. This girl seemingly flows well with everyone and wiggles to greet everyone as well. While she does have some strong herding instincts with small dogs and cats, she is eager to please. She has been around people of all ages, and unfortunately came into rescue through no fault of her own, simply because of a family breakup ending in divorce.

House and crate trained, rides well in vehicles, loves to play, and is snooping around for her furever home!!
