Hi… my name is Cody.

I’m about 8–10 years old, I weigh 29.6 pounds, and I spent my life doing exactly what I was bred and trained to do — hunting, working, obeying.

And when that job was done…
I was dumped.

No retirement.
No soft landing.
Just left behind.

This new life I’m living with my foster mom is kind and loving. It’s all very new to me, though, so I can be a little timid. Loud noises and sudden movements scare me, and I don’t rush up to strangers.

I prance in place when I see you because I’m just so happy — and grateful — for the company.

I do best in a quiet, peaceful home. Kids might be a little too much for me right now, but other dogs make me feel safe. I relax faster, play more, and sleep easier when I have a dog friend by my side.

Here’s a little more about me — all thanks to my wonderful foster mom who has spent months helping me heal and learn what love feels like:

* Cats don’t really interest me
* House trained & crate trained (I may fuss a little in the crate, but I settle down — you win)

* Fenced yard required (you know why… it’s in my blood)
* Heartworm negative
* Up-to-date on all vetting, neutered, and microchipped
* I eat too fast — slow feeder needed
