Cody is a sweet, smart, submissive man. He has a big body, a big heart, and little short legs. He is very loving, gives great kisses and hugs. He loves to play ball and wrestle with his twin brother. He and Zack will get on top of a new pile of mulch and play king of the mountain. LOL

Cody is crate trained and listens very well. He is housebroken with a dog door and will learn very quickly when he gets to a new home without the dog door. He walks on a leash but is scared. He is great about following another dog that he knows b/c he doesn’t have the confidence to be a leader. If he think she is in trouble he will let out a little submissive tinkle but my hope again, is once he is not in a group housing setting like our kennel house, he will flourish.

Many people ask why a dog doesn’t get adopted and what is wrong with it. Well nothing is wrong with them or him. It is just a case of the right person not seeing his potential. Cody was born with us on July 30, 2013 and had been in the kennel house ever since. He has only known one other home and they didn’t keep him after about a month b/c the kids weren’t interested. He was lucky b/c when I picked him up I realized he had been living on their deck. I think this set back his emotional development.

Cody would do best in a home with a fenced yard and no children under 8 b/c of his shyness. He needs a home with dog experience and if you have another dog for him to follow that would be great but not necessary.

About Forgotten Paws:

Our mission is to save the lives of as many homeless pets as possible through rehoming, education of the public and reduction in the number of animals brought into the world.Through our rescue program we not only pull animals from kill shelters, we also work to help individuals who need to re-home their personal pets and families whose loves ones have died and left pets behind.Through our education and spay and neuter assistance programs, we strive to reduce the number of litters born each day by spaying or neutering as many owned pets as possible. We hope that our efforts will make a huge difference in the long run and a dent in the number of pets needlessly killed.

What keeps us going is the love and appreciation we see in the eyes of the sweet pets we are able to save. When we look into the faces of these animals that would have otherwise been a statistic and then forgotten, we know all our time and efforts are well spent.
