Meet Cody, a charming Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog mix who is almost five years old and weighs a fit 38 pounds! 🎉 This loyal boy isn’t just about looks; he’s smart as a whip and wants nothing more than to please his humans. But let’s not forget his delightful goofy side! 😄 Now, Cody recently attended D.O.G. Obedience training, so he comes with a shiny repertoire of commands: sit, down, come, stay, place, and spin. He’s housebroken and crate-trained, and you can trust him to keep himself entertained when left alone at home. But here’s the scoop—Cody has a fair bit of energy from his Border Collie roots and will need a dedicated owner who enjoys playtime and exercise as much as he does! 🏃‍♂️💨 However, Cody is a bit of a loveable nervous Nelly when it comes to new people. He's been known to give little nips out of anxiety, but fear not! This sweet pup isn't aggressive at all; he's just looking for a calm and confident space to thrive. Imagine giving him the warm, structured home he needs, guiding him with clear directions, and watching him grow into the amazing companion he’s meant to be! 🦸‍♂️ A fun fact? Did you know that Border Collies are incredibly sensitive to human emotions? They read body language like a best-selling novel! 📖 That means adopting Cody comes with a sweet and empathetic companion who will pick up on your vibes like a pro. If you're interested in making Cody a part of your family, please note that he needs a home without small children and would thrive in a calm environment with a fenced-in backyard. Just picture him exploring and running around—absolute joy! 🌳✨ Wouldn't it be amazing to be the one who helps him feel safe and loved? Cody’s foster has already made significant progress with him, and it’s heartwarming to see him start to trust after some tasty treats! 🥳 Please take a moment to remember that Cody is looking for an experienced owner who understands canine body language and is ready to give him the active lifestyle and structured routine he craves. *To meet and possibly adopt this wonderful boy, make sure to apply through the Buddy App!* Cody was initially adopted as a puppy from Furry Kids' Refuge but was returned due to nipping, and it's clear that a quieter home would suit him splendidly. So if you’re someone who’s ready for a loving, attentive friend, Cody is waiting for you! 💖 To adopt this incredible pup through the Buddy App, just follow the process there—Cody can’t wait to meet his forever family!
