Cody is a bright, five-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who brings playful energy and gentle affection to every moment. Born in February, with the attention span of a hide-and-seek champion and the mind of a quick learner, Cody loves making friends—especially children. He soaks up every minute of companionship, thriving as part of the action and encouraging his people to join in on games of fetch or beach outings. Squeaky toys and tennis balls are his favorites, and he’ll happily play until you call it quits. Cody is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped (registration covered), dewormed, and house-trained. He’s a gentleman on a leash—except when his excitement takes over for a brief tug. He prefers not to be left alone for long, doing best in homes where someone is around most of the day. He loves people but values a private mealtime; sharing food isn’t his thing, so a calm space at dinner suits him best. Sensitive to loud noises and sudden chaos, Cody asks for a patient owner willing to work with his gentle spirit. He’s looking for a family who will love him for his quirks and celebrate his status as a bona fide "good boy." Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
