If there are any applicants for the Mississippi hounds left over, perhaps Carolyn help to get Copper out of the grim Abbotsford SPCA?

Copper
Dog
Coonhound
Size: Large
Age: Young
Sex: Female
I.D: 18070
Notes: Copper is a beautiful 1 year old girl. She has a great temperament and is good with other dogs. She knows sit, come, shake a paw and down. She is crate trained to be left alone in the house and has lived well with cats. Copper was adopted from here one month ago, but had to come back because she is not good in vehicles. When she has to go in a vehicle she gets very stressed and has a bowel movement every time. Even crating her did not help. Copper needs to be somewhere where she can get exercise on the property or live within walking distance of a dog park. We need Copper to go to a home that has knowledge of coonhounds because they can be quite noisy and hard to contain because they follow their noses everywhere. Copper needs a lot of exercise because she gets restless and will whine a lot in the house. If you think you might have a lifestyle that matches Copper and you have the resources to work with her needs please call or come down to visit her.
