Oliver (adopted 11.27.10)
Oliver may just be the best looking hound dog out there. He is estimated at only about 2 years old and may be mixed with a lab. He gets along amazingly well with other dogs and is a mellow, quiet boy. He enjoys getting attention and wants nothing more than a great family to constantly love on him. He gladly greets every new person and dog with a big grin and wagging tail. He also walks fairly well on a leash and is so far showing promising signs of house training. Oliver can be a little hesitant in new situations so will need someone with patience. Another dog in the home would be excellent for him, since he is a big follower. Sweet Oliver is starting the next chapter of his life with his new "mom" in San Jose.

Brody (adopted 11.25.10)
Brody is a 5/6 month old pit mix who is as sweet as they come. He literally only had hours to live, simply because there was no space left at the shelter, before Copper's Dream gladly stepped in to rescue him. Having just been rescued, Brody is a little unsure about new experiences right now, but with some gentle reassurance he acclimates quickly. He has not shown to be food or toy possessive, and loves to wiggle into your lap and get close for a cuddle (where he's happy to stay for a nap!). He was completely mellow in his bath and now his beautiful brindle coat really stands out. Here's a video of him after his bath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpul_52uCH0. Brody is already walking well on leash and knows how to "sit." Brody gets along well with other dogs and people but needs some confident coaxing to assuage his initial unsureness.

She will continue to come out of her shell with the help of loving people and continued exposure to new experiences. She likes the company of her sisters, so would probably do well and gain confidence in a home with another dog. She is quickly learning the proper way to walk on leash. Sweet little Ryan is now living in San Francisco in a home with another dog.
Mia (adopted 11.21.10)
Mia is one of three beautiful sisters who arrived from Merced. She is estimated at about 5/6 months old, approx. 25 lbs, and a mix of german shepherd and most likely sheltie.

Edgar (adopted 11.15.10)
Meet Edgar a quiet gentle soul of a man. Although estimated by the shelter at approximately 1-year old, it seems he may be closer to 4 - 6 years or so. A more accurate description of his breed may also be Jack Russell and Dachshund rather than just Chihuahua. He is a special guy who was rescued from Merced. He is a super sweet guy who tolerates other dogs, but really enjoys human companionship. He definitely gets attached to those he loves and trusts. He is still a little nervous in big crowds and noisy environments so a quieter home would be ideal for him.

Mama Blue (adopted 11.6.10)
Mama Blue is 5-6 year old pit mix who loves all people and even does great with children as young as one. She is a real love who just wants to curl up or even lay in your lap if you'll let her. She walks well on leash, has great house manners, and respects her caretakers. Due to Mama's unfortunate past she should be the only pet in the house at this time. She was confiscated from a home down south near Bakersfield along with her three pups. One pup was adopted through the shelter but Mama and her two babies had run out of time. They spent over a month in the shelter waiting for the case against their previous owner to close. He was convicted of animal abuse/neglect. Copper's Dream agreed to take her two pups but after meeting Mama and being greeted with the biggest pittie smile ever, there was no way she was going to be left behind. Everyone was well aware of what her fate would be if Copper's Dream did not take her. One smile from the most loving and loyal dog you will ever meet was all it took, in the van she went on her way to a better life in SF. After observing Mama's behavior outside the shelter environment it is clear that she does not like some dogs. We have no idea what her life was like before she came here, but after speaking with some trainers it is believed that she is just extremely under-socialized. Basically she never knew life outside the yard she was rescued from. Thanks to the help of Best Friends Pet Resort in Patterson, CA and the volunteers at Westside Animal for Adoption, Mama Blue has finally found that special forever home she deserves!

With the simple command "kennel" or point of a finger and he will gladly go in for some R&R. Bug has lived with cats in the past and after the first excited introductions he does fine with them. He is still working on the proper way to interact with other dogs, but can and has lived with them in the past. Bug will need an active household who can provide him with plenty of regular exercise. He loves to go for walks, runs or even bike rides. He also loves to play fetch and has even learned how to toss the ball himself. Bug came to Copper's Dream extremely under socialized and scared of almost everyone and everything outside the home. It has been a truly rewarding experience to see him come such a long way. This special, deserving boy has found a wonderful home in Santa Clara.
Roxy (adopted 11.3.10)
Foxy Roxy is a loving, 1- 2 year old female terrier mix (imagine a basenji/jack russell mix... we know, "unique") and possibly shar pei, rescued from being euthanized at the Los Banos shelter. She's very good with people, including older children, though she is sometimes cautious at first with men. Probably because of a lack of training and socialization during puppyhood, Foxy does have some issues interacting with other dogs. With submissive dogs and young puppies, she does very well if introduced to them properly and can live with them in the same household. However, as a very strong alpha personality, Roxy cannot be placed in a home with another dominant dog. Like a good terrier, Roxy has occasional energetic playful bursts, but for the most part is even-keeled and very loving. Her favorite past-time is running up and putting her head in your lap and looking at you with her big brown eyes so you will shower her with affection. Roxy nuzzled her way into the hearts of her foster parents and will now get to stay on in San Francisco as a permanent member of the family.

She loves people and does great with dogs, but sorry no cats for this girl. She needs a home where she will be showered with love and given plenty of time to come out of her shell. She is on the shy side and currently a little jumpy with loud noises, but wants nothing more than to be able to play carefree and just be a happy girl. She walks great on a leash and is house and crate trained. She is also extremely gentle with all people, kids and even during play with other dogs. She would also do best with another doggie playmate to help build her confidence.

Candice
Candice is 8 - 10 months old and a total sweetheart. She was given the unfortunate label of pit mix by the shelter, but her amazing mellow temperment, some what droopy jowls and adorable underbite indicate she may be an american bulldog mix more than pit. Candice went from a stressful situation of an over crowded shelter to another stressful situation of a busy adoption event and took it all in stride. She greets everyone with a smile and politely sits for a good head scratch. She is gentle and loving with everyone, even small children who just can't resist coming to say hi.
