The groomer said he was a big love bug!<br/><br/>MORE ABOUT BEAUTIFUL BODIE:<br/>Meet Bodie, this lovable guy will steal your heart! He is in search of his soulmate that also enjoys long walks, playful exercise, and a loving companion. He can be a little shy at first but once you get to know him, he is an open book. He loves other furry friends, dogs and cats alike. <br/><br/>His groomer thinks he is part lovebug. He was surrendered to IDOG through no fault of his own; his owner had some health challenges and wanted Bodie to be with a family who give him more attention and time. Bodie is very affectionate after he warms up. He loves to cuddle and seeks out pets and belly rubs. He is a little afraid at times. He just needs a little love and patience until he is comfortable in new settings. He enjoys a routine and takes the lead from foster dog brothers and sister. <br/><br/>Bodie can be initially timid; he is afraid when items are added/moved around the home. When the garbage can was moved, he was afraid to go around it but once he gets close to it, he is fine the next time. We think with continued socialization and exposure to the world he will continue to improve as he had made great progress while in his foster home.<br/><br/>IDEAL TYPE OF HOME:<br/>Bodie would thrive in a home where he is not left alone all day. He would be a solid work from home companion and would benefit from another dog in the house. We think he would thrive with an experienced dog owner who will help him continue to work his skittish behavior that he has at times.<br/><br/>Adjectives that describe Bodie:<br/>Gentle<br/>Playful<br/>Timid initially of new people and new situations<br/>Gentle<br/>Playful<br/>Slow to warm up<br/>Snuggly<br/>Submissive<br/>Affectionate<br/><br/>Activities that Bodie enjoys:<br/>tug<br/>fetch<br/>walking<br/>hiking<br/>running<br/>chew toys<br/>squeaky toys<br/>cuddling<br/>meeting new people<br/>playing with other dogs<br/><br/>After adoption we ask that you give any rescue dog time to acclimate - the 3/3/3 rule 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months. For 3 days after adoption/transition, the dog may wonder who you are, what the routine is, who the other dogs are. After about 3 weeks, the dog has typically acclimated to your schedule & knows its role in the house. After about 3 months, the dog has revealed their temperament & personality & settled in.<br/><br/>ADOPTION PROCESS DETAILS:<br/>*Please read ALL the information in Bodie's listing before applying to ensure you understand what he needs to be successful in his new home.<br/><br/>*Please complete our adoption application at http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application (copy/paste URL into your browser).<br/><br/>*If you completed an adoption application in the last 6 months & would like for your application to be considered for Bodie please email us at rescue@idogdoodlerescue.org.<br/><br/>*You must complete our adoption application fully.

Please note our adoption policies are in place for the safety & welfare of our dogs. We are all volunteers & have jobs, families, pets of our own to care for. We do the best that we can to get back to you in a timely manner. We believe in taking time to go through our thorough process to try to match the dog with the best fit for that dog.<br/><br/>*You must be approved to adopt him before we will schedule a meet & greet. We do not transport our dogs.<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $600<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE EXPLANATION:<br/>Puppies & highly adoptable dogs have a higher adoption fee to help IDOG cover the vetting & expenses of the other dogs in IDOG whose adoption fees do not cover their expenses. Our expenses are high these days due to increased vetting expenses, board & train costs, medical/health issues & surgery that is needed for some of our dogs. IDOG relies heavily on donations to bridge the gap between our adoption fees & our expenses. Unfortunately, donations are down across the board for all rescues.<br/><br/>TO APPLY FOR Bodie-North Carolina, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application
