Profile
Copper came to us from Iowa with her two sisters, Scout 08-578 and Shawny 08-576, when they were abandoned when the owners moved. Copper was initially scared but opened up within an hour or so. She does well with the 3 resident dogs. She did come into RAGOM with some roundworms. She has had a few accidents but has done remarkably well doing most of her business outside. Copper needs a family that is ready for the adventures of a puppy and who will guide her development into a mannerly companion.

3/2/2020Hello all!It’s been a while since we’ve posted! Copper’s been up to a lot over the last few years. She’s still the same free spirit she’s been since she was a pup. We have to wait 15-30 minutes for her to come back from roaming around the backyard and also the neighbors’.Copper has been on a few camping trips and LOVES going on bike rides and car rides. She still loves her turtle pool in the summertime as well!Copper has had some changes as well, good and not...- 7/2/2015Hello all!! It's been a while since I posted about Copper. She's been doing great! She spends most of her days going for walks, lounging around the house, or playing outside while I'm working on the garden! We've learned that during the summer time we have to fill up Copper's little turtle pool or else she goes into the neighbors' yard and rolls in the muddy water...She still LOVES the little ones! Cole is now 6 and keeps telling all of us that Copper is his dog and Blake, who is almost 4, gets...
- 10/12/2011Hello!! Megan again - Copper is doing fantastic!! She's gotten so much bigger and wiser. Copper is now very protective of my 2 1/2 year old nephew, Cole. Cole just absolutely loves Copper, he loves throwing her balls and giving her big hugs. The other day Cole threw a ball into Mady's pet carrier and I asked him what goes in there and he said "dog" then I asked him which dog would fit in there and he walked over to Copper and gave her a hug haha Cole then put his arms around Copper's neck and st...
- 5/11/2009Hello! My name is Megan and my family adopted Copper #08-577. Copper is such a sweetheart and she loves it here! She loves playing with Mady, our Rat Terrier. Copper is my little sweet pea and we like to go for walks and cuddle together on the floor. She likes to bite mine and my sister's hair, just playing around though :)She's gotten so big since we've adopted her. Her favorite thing to do is chew EVERYTHING, especially my shoes and toilet paper rolls. When she's outside we have to keep a clos...
- 1/25/2009The circle of rescue has been completed for yet another RAGOM dog. Copper has been adopted and will have a fur sister to chase around. Her new mom is home most of the day, and Copper will be very happy not to have to be crated very often. PLUS she has human sisters that want her to sleep in bed with her. How lucky is she!
- 1/22/2009Copper again.....with a little confession. I had an accident today in the house....and also one in my crate. FM ran errands and was gone about 4 1/2 hrs. I tried my best, but I couldn't hold it. I've got a little bit of a tummy ache and had to go really badly (FM is switching my dog food so that probably gave me the tummy ache). Then I was so darn thirsty I drank and drank and drank.....and went potty. So, I just wanted to remind everyone....I'm not ready...
- 1/21/2009Hi everyone....Copper here....or Coppertone as FM calls me sometimes. :)I'm doing great here and still waiting to find my forever family. I finally got the resident Weim to play with me.....I knew he couldn't resist me forever. He gets toy and then runs and I try to get it from him. How fun.I haven't had an accident in the house in a few days. That makes FM really happy. She says she wouldn't say I'm potty trained yet, but it's great progress. She takes me out often (like...
- 1/14/2009Copper continues to do well. She went in to the vet on the 12th for her 3rd and final Distemper combo vaccination. The only vaccination she now needs is her rabies which she can get in 1-2 weeks. She weighed in at 19.4 lbs. People can't believe she hasn't been adopted yet! That wiggly butt of hers wins everyone over. :)She eats like a champ; and we continue to practice "sit" for attention, the leash, etc. For the past few days, Copper has been sleeping on a dog bed in my bedroom inst...
- 1/9/2009Well after 5 1/2 weeks.....2 of the 3 resident dogs have decided its ok for Copper to lay with them! Here is proof! :)
- 1/6/2009I am surprised Copper is still in foster care, but will continue to enjoy her until her forever family comes along! Over the past half a week or so, I kept looking at her and thinking she looked so much bigger. So yesterday, I weighed her and WOW.........she is 18 lbs now! Growth spurt anyone?! I was so shocked I weighed her on 2 separate scales and a bunch of times on each scale! She is not chubby.....just growing like crazy! She continues to be just the friendliest girl and wag that tail of...
- 12/29/2008Copper really enjoyed the holidays as she was able to go with to all the family gatherings. She made sure to say hi to everyone and loved meeting new people. Her confidence has grown so much in the past 3 1/2 weeks and it is so fun to see her more comfortable. Copper has what I call a "happy butt".....her tail is almost always wagging and her rear end wiggling. Its great. On Friday she went with to my sisters and met their 80 lb lab. I wasn't sure if she would play with him but she...
- 12/21/2008Hi everyone.....Copper here! Foster Mom said I get to try my hand at this typing thing....I'm so lucky. I'm doing really well and everyone that meets me says I have a cute personality. I am getting more confident and learning all sorts of things. Like that roll of white paper in the bathroom......ohhhhh is that fun to grab a piece of and run into the hallways! It just keeps coming, and coming, and coming. But now FM took it off the roller so I can't reach it. Party pooper. And...
- 12/18/2008Copper weighed in at 11 lbs on Monday.....she is officially growing bigger. :) I brought her into the vet to have two sores on her mouth looked at. The vet thinks they are similar to a cold sore in people so she is on antibiotics to see if that will heal them. She will go back in next Monday for her next distemper shot and we will see how they look then. Copper has a few new favorite puppy antics. One is "try to catch me if you want to put a leash on me" and her other favorite pa...
- 12/14/2008Copper is doing well and gaining weight. I don't have a scale so I'm not sure what her exact weight is but she can no longer fit through the planks of my neighbors wooden fence. :)She sleeps a lot and still loves to snuggle. Today she went with me to visit my parents and we had a breakthrough. Twice Copper went to their door and whined to go outside. I let her out and she did her business! Yeah! She doesn't seem to do that at home but it may be because of the chaos o...
- 12/7/2008Copper here....Foster Mom said I could do my own update today........how exciting! I'm really liking my new life and FM said that there is a family that will find me and bring me to live with them forever! I wonder who they are and what life will be like. I hope they are fun and teach me all sorts of things about how to be the best dog I can be! I can go up and down stairs all by myself and am getting fed three times a day. My belly gets too full when FM just fed me twice and I couldn't...
- 12/2/2008Original Initial Bio:Copper came to us from IA with her two sisters, Scout 08-578 and Shawny 08-576. They were abandoned when the owners moved to Texas and left them behind. A wonderful Good Samaritan fed the girls and helped transport them to MN so they could come into RAGOM! We are not sure on their breeds but appear to possibly be Golden Retriever mixes. The vet thinks they are 8-10 wks old. Copper is a dark golden color and has white on her chest, as well as each of her feet. She is a s...
