Copper is a 6 month old Bernese Mountain Dog in Elk Mound, WI, who needs $2,000 for Fracture Surgical Repair.

Copper came to us as we were looking for another dog, smaller in size to be a companion animal to our two children. We have another dog in our home, Dallas, who is our service dog for our son. Both of are children are special needs and so we wanted a smaller dog for cuddles. Copper has filled that void to the kids and became their snuggle-buddy every night.

Copper somehow managed to break his ankle/heel bone. I let both dogs outside to go to the bathroom and he came back inside limping. There's nothing outside for him to get into or jump off from so I have no idea how it happened. Because of how the Achilles attaches, it requires surgery which will be done at Glenwood City Animal Hospital.

Copper is a licker and a snuggler. He is my shadow and will follow me everywhere along with both of my kids. He loves to snuggle on the couch with both kids and give kisses. He and Dallas also get along GREAT and he's the little brother Dallas has been missing. He's spunky, loves to zoom over the yard and play fetch!

We are a single income family because both of my kids require multiple appointments, therapies, and needs daily. I work when I can here and there, but my husband is the primary source of income. We don't have an emergency fund and this happened before I got pet insurance.
