Copper is an estimated 4-year-old, 80 lb neutered male Doberman with natural ears and a docked tail. He was originally picked up as a stray in Georgia and joined us via Project Freedom Ride. Copper is a fun-loving boy with a zest for life and a heart that's just waiting to be shared. He is happy to hang out on the couch but he's always ready for an adventure, a game of fetch, or any opportunity to spend time with his people. A little exercise goes a long way with Copper, and once he's had a chance to burn off some energy, he's happy to settle in and relax. One of Copper's favorite things in the world is chasing tennis balls; he approaches every game with such joy and determination that it's hard not to smile. Copper can be a little cautious when meeting new people, preferring to take a moment to assess the situation. Thankfully, the path to his heart is fairly straightforward—patience, kindness, and a few tasty treats tend to work wonders. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate and loving personality shines through, and he quickly becomes a devoted companion. He currently shares his home peacefully with other dogs and enjoys being part of the pack, though he appreciates slow and thoughtful introductions. On walks, Copper is a pleasure to handle, leading the way and exploring his surroundings without pulling on the leash. With a confident handler providing guidance, he remains calm around other dogs and focuses on enjoying the outing.
Ideal Home
Copper is looking for a family that will continue helping him build confidence while embracing his playful spirit and affectionate nature. He would do best in a single-family dwelling with a securely fenced yard. He cannot live with cats or small animals. Large breed experience and Doberman experience are a big plus!
Ongoing Health
Copper's adoption fee includes his spay/neuter, current rabies, DAPPV, and Bordetella vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, and heartworm test.
