Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Copper is the kind of dog that reminds you just how powerful patience, structure, and love can be. When he first arrived, he needed guidance and thanks to a lot of dedication from our team (and some very special help along the way), he’s grown into a dog we are incredibly proud of.

At his core, Copper is so sweet. He genuinely loves being around people and wants to be part of the action. Like a lot of young, enthusiastic dogs, he can get a little overexcited at times but with some simple redirection and continued consistency, he settles in beautifully. He’s already come such a long way and shows us every day just how eager he is to learn and connect.

Copper has had the opportunity to work with an amazing trainer, Eric Letendre, and we truly cannot thank him enough for helping Copper build the skills and confidence he needed to get to this point. Because of that foundation, Copper now knows sit, paw, down, and even roll over and he’s more than ready to keep learning with his future family.

One thing about Copper, he is a dog’s dog. He absolutely thrives with other dogs and would do best in a home with another active canine companion who’s ready to run, play, and help him continue to grow. Having a buddy brings out the very best in him.

Copper will need an experienced adult-only home committed to continuing his training and providing the structure he’s used to. In return, you’ll get a loyal, fun, affectionate companion and a dog that your whole neighborhood will probably fall in love with (just like we all have).

We’ve put our hearts into Copper, and now he’s ready for someone to take that next step with him. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, potential, and a whole lot of love to give… Copper is waiting

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.

As a non-profit shelter we are committed to the rescue, quality care, and adoption of companion animals into forever homes....
