Adopt a Chocolate Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat)

This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express from 12-4pm on Sat. Feb. 17th & Sun. Feb. 18th or until adopted. If interested, please fill out an application if you would like the first opportunity to meet prior to the start of the event. (We will pre-approve one home to meet per dog.)

Copper is a 1 year old Chocolate Lab mix. She is full grown and weighs 49lbs. She was relinquished to our rescue from a home that had her in a small cage enclosure that was covered with filth. Poor girl. But she has that amazing spirit and you'd never know where she's been before as she's happy as can be in her foster home. She gets along with everyone she has met. She's a fun, spunky girl without being over the top energetic.  Yes, she has energy. Some 1 year old Labs are out of control and that's not our girl but she's not a couch potato either. She's appropriately playful with the dogs at the dog park but if you can't go one day she's not going to be destroying your home.

Copper does like a clean crate. She's not opposed to having a place for herself. She gets along with other dogs in her foster home. She likes to play in the morning and then some playtime in the afternoon. That does her good. She could be an option to go to the dog park or doggy day camp. She's not likely to be the dog who goes to doggy day camp and needs to go two days in a row. She'll be pretty worn out after one day.

Copper has a very sweet disposition and she's loves to be petted and hugged. She is not a barker. If she barks, there is a reason. She has proven to be very smart and listens well. She is a dog who will take to training very easily. She's ready for all that a new home has to offer her.

Copper is an option for a home that hasn't had a dog recently but has done their homework to prepare for a dog. If there are children they need to be over the age of 8.
