Meet Codie! This adorable 5-year-old bundle of love is a delightful chihuahua/dachshund mix, and let me tell you, he is on a mission to find his forever home! 🌟 Codie’s journey began when his dear elderly owner passed away, leaving him at a shelter where he faced the dire risk of euthanasia. But fear not! He's here now, ready to steal hearts and bring joy to a loving family! 🐾💖 Codie is what you might call a "velcro dog," meaning he’s all about that companionship life. He dreams of being your loyal sidekick, especially for a senior, which is the type of environment he’s most familiar with. If you’re someone who appreciates a dog that wants to be with you every moment of the day, Codie is your guy! However, he might need a little time to warm up to new folks. Initially, he can be a tad shy and may bark when new people come around, but don’t worry; he accepts treats like a champ! 🍗 Just remember, he prefers to approach new friends at his own pace, especially when it comes to men — it might take a little longer for him to become comfortable. Living in a quieter home is essential for our sweet Codie. He’s not a fan of bustling environments or constant visitors, so a calm setting would be ideal for him. Codie has been working on his house training and crate training and excels as long as he gets outside often enough. However, this little barker is not suited for apartments or places where shared walls exist; he needs an environment that respects his charming vocal talents! Now, let’s talk about the beauty of patience! Codie deserves a loving family that will embrace his slower pace and allow him to build trust over time. If you’re ready for that rewarding journey where loyalty is earned, Codie will surely fill your life with joy! 🌈 Adoption fee is $450.00 + tax (no checks).
