Just as unique as his name, we’d like you to meet scruff COPO. His love for people is real, and you’re sure to notice it right from the start, given how trusting he is. As soon as he lays eyes on you, it’ll be all affection and then play, play, play. Wanna know his fav toys? Anything he can chew on. Oh, and while we’re here, we might as well share that while COPO has a relaxed temperament, he does tend to nip during play, so please keep this in mind if and when kiddos are in the mix.
COPO loves spending time in the backyard and going for his morning and evening walks, where sniffing is his priority! If there were something he didn’t love, that would have to be bath time. What can we say? This scruff just isn’t about it. What he’s into is spending time with his people. He loves to hang out, and we think he would make a great family dog.
Let’s chat training. COPO has been quite the busy scruff learning boundaries at lightning speed (or at the very least fairly quickly). Not to brag, or anything, but he also listens to his people and responds to redirection, which helps focus his attention. What commands has he learned recently? Sit and come. What will he continue to work on in your care? Daytime crate training to help build his independence! He can be vocal when left alone.
COPO currently lives with an active and playful foster scruff sister. This experience has shown that taking his time with introductions generally leads to positive interactions. He enjoys playing with his scruff sister, though he is still pretty chill and often prefers to do his own thing. He’s shown some light curiosity towards scruffs while out and about, so it’s possible that COPO may develop lasting dog friendships.
Apply to adopt!
COPO will be a special guest at our upcoming adoption event on Sunday, March 29th from 12pm - 2pm at Petsmart Etobicoke (158 N Queen St, Etobicoke, ON). Come meet him and see if he might be the right fit for you! Note: This event is only open to SOS adoptables. If you have your own scruff, we ask that you please leave them at home!
