Our active adventure buddy is still waiting for his forever home! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿ“… Originally featured on August 15

Meet Copper! This handsome Heeler mix is a fun-loving, energetic boy who is ready to find someone to share life's adventures with. Whether it's going for a walk, playing outside, or chasing water from the garden hose, Copper knows how to make the most of his day!

๐ŸŽฅ Watch Copper's video and see some of his personality for yourself! Could this happy, water-loving guy be your next best friend?

โค๏ธ WHY YOU'LL LOVE COPPER

๐Ÿพ He's a sweet boy who enjoys attention and pets
๐Ÿพ He loves walks and is great on a leash
๐Ÿพ He's athletic, active, and ready for adventures
๐Ÿพ Water is one of his favorite thingsโ€”especially chasing the spray from a hose!
๐Ÿพ He has a fun-loving personality and lots of love to give

Copper would be a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys spending time outdoors and wants a buddy to share an active lifestyle. He gets along with some dogs, but not all, so a meet-and-greet is important if you already have a dog at home.

๐Ÿพ COPPER AT A GLANCE

๐Ÿถ Male, 4 years old
๐Ÿถ Heeler mix
๐Ÿถ Approximately 30โ€“40 pounds
๐Ÿถ Neutered and up to date on vaccinations
๐Ÿถ Great on a leash
๐Ÿถ Loves water, walks, outdoor fun, and getting pets
๐Ÿถ Gets along with some dogs; a meet-and-greet is needed

โค๏ธ COULD COPPER BE YOUR PERFECT ADVENTURE BUDDY?

Copper has so much to offer the right person. He doesn't need a perfect homeโ€”just a loving one where he can be part of the family, get plenty of attention, and enjoy the things that make him happy.

He's ready for his next chapter. Could you be the person who helps him start it?

Please come meet Copper at Tombstone Small Animal Shelter. Let's get this sweet boy out of the shelter and into a home of his own!

๐Ÿพโค๏ธ MEET OUR FEATURED PET: ELLIE MAE! โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

This sweet girl is still waiting for her second chance at a forever home. Could YOU be her person? ๐Ÿกโค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“… Originally featured on August 26

Meet Ellie Mae! She's a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being petted, getting belly rubs, playing with toys, and spending time with people. She's got a silly side, too, and will make you smile with her personality!

๐ŸŽฅ Watch Ellie Mae's video and get to know this special girl! โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Ellie Mae's story hasn't been easy. She first came to the shelter when she was young and spent about a year and a half waiting for a home. She was adopted and enjoyed about a year with her person, but through no fault of her own, she returned to the shelter when her owner had to move into a nursing home.

Now she's waiting again. Recently, she also lost her best friend, Pepper, who found a home of her own. Ellie Mae deserves her own happy ending, too. โค๏ธ

โค๏ธ WHY YOU'LL LOVE ELLIE MAE

๐Ÿพ She's a sweet girl who loves attention and affection
๐Ÿพ Belly rubs and pets are always welcome!
๐Ÿพ She enjoys toys and spending time with her people
๐Ÿพ She loves exploring and moving around in the play yard
๐Ÿพ She's more of a backyard explorer than a walking buddy
๐Ÿพ She has a silly, lovable personality that will make you smile

Ellie Mae has her own preferences when it comes to other animals. Her herding instincts can be a bit much for some dogs, so she may do best as the only pet in the home.

๐Ÿพ ELLIE MAE AT A GLANCE

๐Ÿถ Female, approximately 5 years old
๐Ÿถ Australian Kelpie/herding breed mix (best guess)
๐Ÿถ Spayed and up to date on vaccinations
๐Ÿถ Loves pets, belly rubs, toys, and backyard time
๐Ÿถ May do best as the only pet

โค๏ธ COULD ELLIE MAE BE YOUR PERFECT COMPANION?

Ellie Mae has lost her home twice through circumstances beyond her control. She's still waiting for someone to give her the stability, patience, and love she deserves.

Could you be the person who finally gives her a place to call home?

Please come meet Ellie Mae at Tombstone Small Animal Shelter. She deserves a family of her own and a chance to settle in for good.

Tombstone Small Animal Shelter is down to JUST TWO DOGS! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

Can you believe it? Thanks to our amazing community, so many of our dogs have found their forever homes. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has adopted, shared our posts, donated, and helped spread the word. Every single one of you has made a difference!

But we're not done yet. Copper and Ellie Mae are the last two dogs still waiting for their forever homes. Let's see if we can get both of them home, too! ๐Ÿกโค๏ธ

After being at the shelter twice and losing her home through no fault of her own, she's still waiting for a place where she can finally settle in and feel safe. She may do best as the only pet due to her herding instincts.

โค๏ธ TWO DOGS. TWO VERY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES. TWO HOMES STILL NEEDED.

Whether you're looking for an energetic companion to share adventures with or a loving girl to hang out with in the yard, one of these two might be the perfect match for you!

Please come meet Copper and Ellie Mae at Tombstone Small Animal Shelter. They deserve the same happy endings so many of their friends have already found.
