Cody

🐾 Meet Cody! 🐾

Age: 4 years

Weight: 14 lbs

🧠 Personality Snapshot

Cody is a shy guy at first and needs 3–4 days to decompress and feel safe with new people. Once he warms up, he flips a switch — suddenly he’s your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your biggest fan. When settled in, he’s funny, outgoing, and friendly, and he truly enjoys playing with other dogs of all sizes.

Please also take a moment to read our requirements located in the application.

Please note:

The dog you’re applying for might already have a meet-and-greet scheduled, be on a trial with another family, or has been offered to another rescue within our network. Don’t worry though — we’re always happy to help you find another great match if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!).
