Meet Cody, the magnificent gentle spirit! 🌟 At 8–10 years young and weighing in at about 29.6 pounds, Cody is a treasure trove of love just waiting to blossom! 🌼 This sweet soul has spent his life doing what he was bred for—hunting and working. But when his time for retirement came, sadly, he was left behind like yesterday's news. Can you believe it? No soft landing, no cozy bed to rest his weary bones. Just... abandoned. 🥺 Now, with the kindness of his foster mom, Cody is discovering a world of love and care that's as foreign to him as a fancy gourmet meal on a posh yacht! 🎉 Though he's a bit timid at first—startling at loud noises and keeping his cool when meeting new folks—give him time, and oh boy, will you be rewarded! When he's comfortable, he prances about, dancing with joy at the sight of you! 💃❤️ Cody is looking for a peaceful home to call his own, preferably one without bustling children. But guess what? Having a dog buddy can do wonders for him! With a canine companion by his side, he feels inspired to relax, play, and dream! 🐶✨ Here’s what makes this sweet boy even more special: - Cats? Nah, they don’t pique his interest. - He’s house-trained and crate-trained—just a tiny fuss when settling down, but hey, who doesn’t love a cozy corner? - Leash-trained but needs secure handling; his instincts may kick in, so a smart, calm approach is key! 🔒 - A fenced yard is a must—after all, that adventure-seeking spirit runs deep! 🏡🐾 - Good news: He's heartworm negative and up to date on all vet visits, neutered, and microchipped. - He’s a speedy eater, so a slow feeder is on his wishlist! And what does he love to chew on? Water buffalo horns—who knew they were such gourmet treats? 🦴 - Thunder? It sends him into a tizzy, but a little reassurance from you can turn that fear into calm. 🌩️ - Oh, and he has a possible food sensitivity—Purina One Chicken is his taste of choice! 🥗 Cody may not start as your lap dog, nor will he rush headlong into love, but with a sprinkle of patience and heaps of gentleness, he’ll reveal a heart full of quiet loyalty and a presence that will warm your very soul. 🌈 This humble soul is simply seeking a cozy nook and a loving embrace. If you think you could be the loving human he is looking for, don't wait! Apply to adopt Cody through the Buddy App today! 🥰
