Copper is a special guy in that he has been through a whole lot. We believe he may have been born with a congenital right short leg and missing doggy toes and then he needed some minor surgery to help with pain. There was talk in Turkey of amputating his leg because they thought perhaps he was in pain because of his unusual gait. Our rescue decided to fundraise and bring him her for assessment determining the amputation was not at all necessary and Copper is totally happy and functional. He will live his happily ever after in beautiful Oregon.
