Male Dog, Chihuahua
Chihuahua / Basenji / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Copper is a super cute one-year-old Chihuahua mix looking for a forever family through Chi Town Rescue. Copper came to rescue with 10 other dogs, as part of a hoarding case in Concho, Az. The owner was moving and wanted all her dogs euthanized, even though most were young and healthy. We often find with dogs from hoarding situations, that they are unsocialized and even fearful, of people in general. Copper has some of these tendencies and takes just a bit to warm up to new people. He has made lots of progress in the time he's been at rescue and will now approach those he knows for pets. Treats definitely help him warm up faster! Copper is catching up on all the things he missed out on in his first year of life. He will need a patient family willing to teach him about leash training and potty training. We know Copper is going to blossom in a home setting; he has his whole life ahead of him! Copper does well with other dogs and would love a canine pal in his new home. Copper weighs 15 pounds and is tall and lean- maybe some Basenji in there too? Copper's adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations up to date, Rabies certificate, and microchip. Come get to know Copper and fall in love! Email us at [email protected] for more info/meet and greet appointment.
