Copper - Hound and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Madison, Wisconsin

Copper is a calm, confident, easygoing hound fellow who is just so happy to be out of the shelter and on a new adventure!

At about 40 pounds with long, velvety hound ears, he's an undeniably handsome guy - but it's his supremely gentle heart that will win you over. Copper loves to lean in for hugs and soaks up affection like he's been waiting his whole life for someone to offer it to him.

This lovely houndamuffin gets along well with the small and large dogs and human kid at his foster home - he's very agreeable with everyone! Copper also rides easily in the car and is quiet in his crate. The only exception is at dinnertime, when he can't help but let out a happy little "barooooo" or two in anticipation of his meal - proof that this guy knows how to appreciate the good things in life!

Copper doesn't seem to have spent much time on a leash and would love to get some more practice. He absolutely loves running free at the dog park, smelling the smells and relishing the freedom to roam around. He also enjoys napping upside-down in totally ludicrous positions!

Like many hounds, Copper has a powerful nose and is very curious about what delicious things might be on the counters in the kitchen! He's easy to redirect though, and tunes in to his people without being overly clingy.

Copper is one of those gems you love to pluck from the shelter - just a terrific, gentle guy who can't wait to find his forever family and settle in to life together!

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
