Copper in Dallas, TX
Meet Copper! This beautiful Ruby boy is a 4-month-old bundle of joy (born 7/2/26), with classic puppy curiosity and energy to spare. Cooper is as playful and rambunctious as he is adorable and loves spending his time romping with other pups, playing with his toys, and investigating anything that makes its way into his tiny mouth.

Copper came to Cavalier Rescue USA after his previous owners made the very difficult decision to give the dog to rescue due to a playful puppy not matching their lifestyle. He has transitioned wonderfully into foster care and is thriving in a loving and fun environment.

As expected with a young puppy, potty training is still a work in progress, but Copper is doing fantastic! He has only had a couple accidents while in foster care. With frequent outdoor breaks, he seems to understand exactly what to do and is catching on quickly. Copper is also learning boundaries and already responds to simple commands like “no,” or a clap, especially when he tries to sample items that aren’t meant for chewing. His foster family keeps him well stocked with toys and chews to help with teething, as those tiny teeth are very sharp! He is crate trained and goes in his crate with no problem when his foster parent has to leave. He also has been sleeping in his crate completely throughout the night with no barking and no accidents. He currently has a two-year-old foster Cavalier sister that he loves and plays wonderfully with.

Copper has received excellent veterinary care and is a healthy boy. He is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines, heartworm prevention, and is microchipped. He does have a parasite for which he is being treated. Copper will need to be neutered by his adopter when he reaches 9 months of age and during this surgery he will need a hernia repair.
