Copper is a 6-year-old Hound Mix Dog in Killeen, TX, who needs $1,808 for Closed Reduction for Shoulder Luxation.

One day after school my oldest son Cantyn comes in the house all excited. He tells me about this puppy that him and a friend had found. Someone had dumped another unwanted puppy on our country road. He begged and pleaded his case on how he would be a responsible pet owner. I told him I would think about it. About an hour later my husband walks in and says "Don't be mad."

In walks our son with this tiny brownish tan puppy with these floppy ears and was k introduced as Copper. Fast forward six years and we couldn't imagine our lives without him. I've had a lot of dogs over the years, but we were truly blessed when Copper came into our lives. The relationship that Copper and Cantyn have is truly unique. They communicate without any

From the moment we adopted him, Copper has completely changed our lives for the . There is no doubt about it . His personality is so big that you can't help but fall in love. Our son even taught him to hug. Copper loves being outside. His favorite game is fetch. Once you start, you cannot stop. He won't be ignored.

I was running errands when my son called to tell me Copper was hit by a car. My heart broke when I saw the tire marks on his body. My vet Town&Country suggested I create a campaign to help with the cost of x-rays, surgery to put his shoulder back in place and possibly some intestinal injuries. I'm praying that this works.

My husband had a fourth stroke and second carotid endarterectomy this yea. I got covid and lost my job. Doordash helps until I get something permanent. We have been through so much already this year. The boys would be devestated if we could not save Copper.
