Codie is a five-year-old chihuahua/dachshund mix in Farmington, MN whose world turned upside down when his elderly owner passed away. He found himself at risk in a shelter before landing safely in foster care. Codie is a true velcro dog, deeply devoted and happiest when at your side. He bonds tightly with his person and prefers a quiet, stable environment—constant visitors or busy homes make him nervous. Codie will bark at strangers, but with patience (and some treats), he'll eventually come around, although it may take longer with some men. He's house trained and crate trained as long as he gets out often. Codie needs a home where barking won’t be a problem, so apartments or homes with shared walls aren't a fit. He does well with other dogs and cats but isn’t suitable for households with children. He’s loyal to a fault but needs time and patience to settle in. If you’re open to earning his trust, you’ll find steadfast companionship in return. Codie is a Libra—classic for dogs who crave balance and close partnership. Ready to meet your new best friend?
