Training
Copper's Dream requires that all new dog owners attend a training class with their new pet to ensure that you develop a happy, healthy, and long-lasting relationship. Dogs are amazingly smart animals that can learn what behaviors are expected of them very quickly. At the same time, dogs that are not taught basic commands and manners will not identify with their owners as "pack leaders" and often develop undesirable habits. The training requirement may be waived on a case by case basis for experienced dog owners.
Spay/Neuter
Copper's Dream required that all our rescue dogs be spayed or neutered, in accordance with our mission to end the euthanasia of adoptable animals. While we do our best to make sure pets are spayed or neutered before being adopted, if this has not been possible, we make adoptions contingent on the completion of the operation. As a result, if new adopters violate the terms of the adoption contract, we will take actions to reclaim the dog.
Dog Return
Adoption donations are non-refundable, but if you feel that your new dog is not a match for you, you may return the dog to us within one week of the adoption. If it's past one week, we'll do our best to find an available foster home (if you're unable to foster), and get them the permanent home they deserve.
