Urgent Foster Need, Deployed Soldier, Atlanta

Copper needs your help while his owner serves overseas.

• Foster Needed Now–05/08/28 • Atlanta, GA

Copper's military owner is currently serving on a two-year overseas tour in Germany. After unexpected family hardships, the loved one who had been caring for Copper is no longer able to do so, and he is now living in boarding. A loving foster home will keep this wonderful senior boy safe until he can be reunited with his family.

Copper is an 11-year-old Chow/German Shepherd mix with the sweetest, goofiest personality. He loves meeting new people, happily follows his favorite humans around the house, and is always ready to cuddle on the couch. After a couple of walks and a little playtime, he's perfectly content relaxing by your side. He's house-trained, crate-trained, and gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. Thunderstorms and fireworks can make him nervous, but a quiet place and reassuring company are all he needs.To foster Copper, please complete this form:

We are Operation Foster and our work gives peace of mind to military families, including Veterans and active-duty service members by offering free, long-term, in-home foster care for the pets of our active-duty service members while they are on deployment or training, as well as the pets of Veterans requiring extended hospitalized stay or mental health care/recovery time.

Founded in 2011, we have operations in all 50 states and to date, we have saved the lives of more than 3,500 pets and their owners: pets who may have been euthanized if they were abandoned at over-crowded shelters, and owners who would have been devastated if they were forced to surrender their companion animals simply because they needed to be away.
