About Cody

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Cody is ready to find his forever home! Found on the plains of Colorado limping on three legs, Cody was brought in by a kind person to get the care he needed. After surgery and physical therapy, he's now using his leg again, though sometimes still leans on his old three-legged habits. This super sweet and loving 1.5-year-old cowboy Corgi is about 25 pounds and will thrive with another friendly dog and guardians who aren’t gone for long stretches. Cody is both potty and crate trained, though he gets extra excited when his person comes home and may have a small accident. He’s very much still a puppy at heart and learning what's safe to chew, so he’ll need supervision and sturdy dog-friendly chews. He hasn’t been tested with cats or young children, and due to his herding tendencies, a home without cats and with kids age 12+ is best. He walks well on a leash, is treat motivated, and prefers a dog bed at night. While shy in new situations and not fond of long car rides yet, he’s getting more comfortable with practice. Cody requires a secure fenced yard and would do best with a moderately active family—apartments won’t be the right fit. If you don’t mind the sound of a Heeler bark when he’s excited and can provide a loving, structured environment, Cody will blossom. A basic manners class is recommended for confidence and bonding. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and seeking his Colorado family. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
