Meet Copper
Copper is ready to start seeking a family. Because Copper has Mega Esophagus we want to ensure that the family adopting him is ready and knows what life will be like with Copper. Thankfully Copper's Mega Esophagus is well managed and he's graduated from eating in a Bailey chair to eating in an elevated feeder and gone from 10 min of upright time, to making him sit up after eating for just a couple minutes, and so far it's working great. Because his Mega Esophagus is so easily managed we don't see why this cutie patootie can't find a family of his very own.

Copper's about 11 weeks now, he's a big ball of fur, he's a German shepherd so he's active and rambunctious and full of himself. He would do best in a home that's got large dog/Shepherd experience. He's a strong willed pup that definitely will benefit from guidance. He would love another dog or two in the home to romp and play with..A fenced yard would be fantastic too. He's still got a long way to go on potty training but he's still just a babe, but a rather big one...
