Copper’s Dream Dog Rescue, named in honor of a cherished reddish-brown Cocker Spaniel reminiscent of Disney’s “Copper and Tod – the Fox and the Hound,” embarks on a noble mission to pave a compassionate path towards a future where every dog is granted a life full of love, happiness, and adventure. Established by co-founder Jennifer Wang, the rescue embodies the spirit of Copper, whose zest for life and indefatigable curiosity was a beacon of joy and an emblem of the unbreakable bond shared between dogs and humans.
Born from a heartfelt story dating back to the Christmas season of 1985, Copper's Dream is a manifestation of an eight-year-old's unyielding love for her first puppy and an enduring remembrance of the irreplaceable companionship they shared over fifteen and a half beautiful years. This profound bond, filled with countless shared memories and life lessons, extends beyond a personal narrative to a broader vision of saving dogs at risk and providing them with a chance for a fulfilled, vibrant life.
The aspiration driving Copper's Dream Dog Rescue is to end the reliance on euthanasia as a means to control animal populations, except in cases where it serves to alleviate an animal's suffering. Inspired by Copper's adventurous spirit and relentless pursuit of freedom, the rescue works tirelessly to ensure each dog under its care experiences the love, care, and dignity it deserves, while awaiting a forever home that echoes the warmth and love Copper had enjoyed.
At Copper’s Dream, the belief is firm and clear - every dog should have the opportunity to live a full, happy, and exploratory life just as Copper did. The journey of Copper's Dream Dog Rescue is more than a tribute to a beloved companion; it's a living testament to the profound impact dogs have on our lives and a step towards a world where the love between humans and dogs blossoms into a greater realm of compassion and understanding.
With every rescue, foster, and adoption facilitated, Copper’s legacy lives on, nurturing hopes that one day, the vision of a humane and compassionate society towards dogs will be realized. Through Copper's Dream Dog Rescue, the essence of love, rebellion, and boundless adventure that Copper embodied, continues to touch lives, fostering a future where dogs and humans continue to share life's incredible journey side by side.
