Copper is a beautiful, sweet, gentle 5 year old bloodhound who is in need of a family to adore him! He is in the St. Lucie Humane Society shelter, awaiting his forever home. He came into the shelter with heartworms, which is not uncommon with strays in Florida, and the shelter was kind enough to treat him. He needs five more weeks post-treatment to keep his heart rate low (doesn’t need to be crated, just walked on a leash during that time). After that, he’s got a full healthy life to lead. He was so afraid when he got to the shelter, but he’s gotten less skittish since he’s been in the adoption area. Are you the people to light up his life and make him a happy hound? Adopt directly from the St Lucie Humane Society, Animal ID 14373043 (adoption fee $90) 100 Savannah Rd, Ft Pierce, FL 34982, 772-461-0687.
