Copper

My story

Copper Bear is a handsome sweetheart with tiger-like stripes, soulful eyes, and a heart overflowing with love. He is the definition of a gentle soul—low-key, calm, and always ready for a cuddle. He truly lives for snuggles, love, and pleasing his people. Despite his past, he’s the most affectionate, enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky dog you’ll ever meet. He even earned the nickname “Tiny Dancer” for the adorable way he dances with his front paws when he’s excited! He’s always smiling – seriously, it’s contagious! My Story Copper and his siblings lived a very heartbreaking life. Like Copper, several dogs were chained outside in extreme conditions often left without food and water. Tragically, one of his siblings died due to starvation before help arrived. Copper originally lived outside with two other dogs but eventually was left completely alone. Desperate for companionship, he tried to escape and ended up tangled in his chain—unable to move or access food or shelter. After several days, he was thankfully discovered and freed. Copper Bear is more than just a rescue dog—he’s a survivor, a snuggle expert, and a heart-healer. His gratitude shows in every wag, every smile, and every time he curls up next to you. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will love you with his whole heart and make you smile every day, Copper Bear is your boy. He’s been through the worst—and now he’s ready for the best. Let his life begin – with you!
