Coppersmith is a striking, handsome mix of black, white and coppery (of course!) tones. His statuesque physique is accented by his long, willowy legs and his head poised high.

Coppersmith is a wonderful combination of active energy, intelligence, and an inquisitive demeanor. He has a lively personality but is responsive and obedient. He sits for his meals without being prompted and willingly accepts direction to his crate and bed. He enjoys walks, car rides, and playing with his collection of stuffed toys, balls, and rope pulls. Copper is happiest enjoying the companionship of his people, loves engaging with other dogs, and would be great in a home with children and other canine companions.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
