Jennifer Wang

Jennifer co-founded the rescue with her sister Samantha and named it after her beloved first dog, Copper. Jennifer spearheaded animal welfare awareness while a student at Stanford, and after returning to the Bay Area after earning her law degree at Harvard, started Copper's Dream. While living abroad in Belize she helped organize bringing rescued dogs to Copper's Dream stateside.

Samantha Wang

Samantha's earliest memories are filled with the many animal companions she grew up with, from Doodle the yellow tabby to Copper, the dog who inspired this rescue group. Samantha has enjoyed working at Garrod Farms (where she indulged in her love for horses), and volunteering with Furry Friends in facilitating pet-assisted therapy with her dog Goldie.
Woof! We're an all-breed dog rescue serving the San Francisco Bay Area.
