About Cody

Meet Cody! He is a handsome Golden Retriever looking for a special forever home where he can really thrive. After being returned by his previous adopter, Cody is ready for a fresh start with the right guidance. He experienced a lack of structure in his first home, which contributed to a bite history, but there’s fantastic news: he has made remarkable progress. Currently, he is in a dedicated foster home, continuing his journey with a professional trainer. Cody is smart and eager to learn, with a love for staying active. His ideal adopter should be experienced and committed to providing him with structure, leadership, and ongoing training. Important requirements include a home without children or other dogs unless the adopter is highly experienced with behavioral cases. Cody needs an active lifestyle with at least 1.5 hours of daily exercise and enrichment. Adopters must also agree to the Tattered Paws contract, ensuring he is returned to the rescue if needed and prohibiting euthanasia without prior contact. If you're ready to dedicate time and effort to an incredible dog and help him become his best self, Cody could be the perfect match for you. 💛 What are you waiting for? Apply today!
