Copper is not a greyhound but he was in a home in North Carolina who could not longer keep him as they were moving. He would have ended up in the shelter very soon. We were happy to take him into our family. He really is a very sweet boy with great manners. His former owner described him as, " Copper is just over a year old and housetrained and leash trained. He is very social, good with kids (lived with a 6 and 9-year-old), great with other animals (lived with older lab, cat and rabbit.) He weighs 40 to 45 pounds. He needs a good happy family!!"
