Description:

Copic is this adorable,  super friendly, silky smooth, happy-go-lucky, active little guy with big floppy ears! He loves being outside having adventures and is super eager to please. He adores hanging out with people of all ages and is almost always happy to come running for petting and attention. 

 

We believe that he may be a beagle/boxer mix (or something similar). 

 

Along with his incredibly sweet and feisty personality, Copic is also super smart. He is quickly learning to offer a nice sit (with paws on the floor) for attention and treats.

 

When you hold him, Copic will wiggle like a worm and cover your face in a million kisses if he gets the opportunity. If you're heading off on an adventure he'll happily follow you around like, well, a puppy- eager to see what you are up to and whether or not it is going to be a tasty experience. He will gleefully chase toys and sticks and then proudly carry them right back past you and beyond. (On a good note- sometimes, he will actually pretend that he is returning them to you before he changes his mind at the last minute.) So, a good game of fetch could be in his future (with a few tweaks). 

 

Copic loves meeting most new people (although he can sometimes be a bit barky and may excitedly dribble a bit of pee at first- something that should resolve as he becomes more confident about meeting new people). As soon as you get close enough, he will lean into you and then usually melt right down onto his back for tons of belly rubs.

He absolutely loves to romp, play chase and wrestle with doggy friends, too. When playing with them at first, Copic can sometimes come off as a bit assertive for a little guy. So a good play match would likely be either a more submissive pup friend or a dog who loves to play but who is not going to be shy about reminding him of his manners when necessary. Having another dog buddy for Copic to live and play with would be perfect for him- just as long as he also gets a whole lot of 'people time' in, too.

 

Copic seems to be both smart and athletic - a pup that you will definitely want to keep an eye on when he is outside!

 

Thankfully, he is also very food/treat motivated so calling him away from making mischief seems to work very well. 

 

Pet parents for Copic will need to have a solid plan in mind to ensure that he gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. But that shouldn't be too hard because he loves car rides, walks and adventures, really enjoys solving food puzzles, sniffing around for kibble and learning new tricks. 

 

Car rides are one of his most favorite things and he loves going shopping at any stores that will let him come inside. (Even better if he gets to pick out his own treat! )

 

A fence is not required to adopt this cute pup IF you have a solid plan in mind to keep this boy active and busy. 

 

He would be a great companion for long walks or hikes and a great, soft, cozy buddy to cuddle on the couch with afterwards. 

 

Copic very much enjoys hanging out with the human kids (ages 3-18) and people (men and women) in his foster home but he will do best in a family with calmer kids ages 6 or up who already have some dog experience and know how to handle puppy behaviors like jumping up. Even with consistent training so far, Copic still tends to view smaller kids/toddlers (with their unpredictable movement styles and moods) as 'puppy friends' who can possibly be romped with. He is learning to be calm around them, but, again, this is still a work in progress. 

 

Copic has met the pet chickens in his foster home and, although friendly-seeming and curious, he initially got very excited and barky when they ran around near him. (The same goes for kitties, new dog friends and other small animals.) This could mean that he has a higher prey drive that may need to be tempered in order for him to live peacefully and safely in a house with other non-dog pets. 

 

So far, he is already being reinforced regularly for quiet/calm behavior around active, triggering stimuli (like chickens, ferrets, cats, other dogs, running kids ,etc). This seems to be working very well to help him start to develop some self control in these situations. 

 

Copic is doing great going potty outside- often completing his business very quickly with a prompt or two. But this is a work in progress and will still require consistent attention to master. He is learning to sit nicely and wait for his food, to keep 4 paws on the floor when he wants attention, come when called over, leave things alone that he would prefer to eat (like almost everything), take other items as requested, amuse himself when his people are busy and relax comfortably when strange people and dogs walk by. Since everything is still very new to him, all of this training will likely take quite a bit of repetition and reinforcement for him to master.

He is already used to sleeping in his crate for naps and bedtime and often treats it as a calm, safe space where he can collect his favorite toys, bones and get some extra fun surprises sometimes. 

 

Living in an apartment/townhouse may work for Copic, depending on the type, size and location but please keep in mind that Copic is a much higher-energy pup who has a currently unknown size expectancy. He also has a tendency to bark loudly at unfamiliar sounds and noises. Home environments that come with breed, size or noise restrictions will not work for this sweet pup

 

Please Note: Copic has lived inside with his foster family from the day he came into our rescue. He has been worked with consistently using hand feeding techniques, positive reinforcement, redirection, treat balls with kibble inside and toys that are designed to encourage puppies to use their minds, smelling and problem solving skills. He is being encouraged to take food and toys gently, wait before going through a door, leave requested things alone, keep 4 paws on the floor, sit for attention, come when called, walk nicely on a looser leash and greet new people and other dogs appropriately. 

 

To the extent that he is comfortable and able to handle it, he has been carefully exposed to the sights/sounds of a busy family household in a more urban environment. (This includes kids and people of all types, cats, small animals and backyard chickens. As appropriate, he has also been introduced to friendly neighborhood dogs and people, car rides, different textures and surfaces and other busy environmental stimuli.)

 

Please note that the HDDCR adoption process includes a vet reference check and a home visit (either performed virtually or in-person). There may also be some clarification questions based on your original application responses. Please feel free to let us know if it would be easier for you to answer these questions over the phone instead. We are always happy to offer accommodations!

   


HDDCR requires a spay/neuter contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. We will hold a $50 deposit on top of the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog was spayed/neutered. The $50 deposit will then be returned to the adopter.​

Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to    Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a    $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee    to change information.   Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
