Copper – ADOPTED!

My name is Copper and I am a beautiful female, almost solid liver, GSP. Don’t worry – I have brains that go along with my beauty and I am beyond excited to start the search for my forever home. I have only known my name for a week, but I already come when called. I have had a few tests off leash and my Foster Mom (FM) says I should be great off leash. I am not sure exactly what that means, but if it means I get to run around AND be with my people I am all for it. And I love coming back to my foster mum. No one taught me about potty training either, but boom, I have that down in 7 days!

The Vet thinks I am about 1 year old and I still have a lot of puppy in me. I already know sit and stay. I have been to a big off leash park a couple of times now, and I do great with other dogs. I run and sprint a little, but mostly I keep a close eye and very close to my FM.
I do have a few opportunities for growth, in that, apparently, looking for food on the counter is frowned upon. The other dogs that live with me are not as tall so they don’t have the same opportunity to scout for food. My foster parents have learned their lesson, but, I admit, I would probably try it again if given the chance. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY don’t like being left alone. You see, my last dad didn’t love me that much, and he took me to a shelter and said if they didn’t take me he would shoot me. He didn’t even bother to tell them my name. So now I want to be in my FM’s pocket (even if she goes to the toilet at 2am, I follow her!).
Right now, I am sleeping just fine on a dog bed in my FP’s bedroom or living room. They don’t let me on the bed or the couch, BUT I must tell you, if you would let me, I would be up there in 1 nano second flat, ready to cuddle like most GSP’s.

My dream forever home would include a family with another active dog that I can play with and also hang out with when I have to be left alone. Like most GSP’s I can run like the wind, so I hope you are really active. I hope you have a job that you are home a lot or I could come with you. Oh, I have also learned how to use a dog door in just one week, so if you have one of those, that would be fab! My foster home does not have cats or kids, so we would need to do a little testing if you have either of those.

I am a young hip dog, so naturally technology comes second nature to me, and I have decided to keep a photo blog to help put my best paw forward so I can find the most perfect forever home. You can find that at https://coppersdblog.blogspot.com/2017/10/looking-for-my-forever-home.html
