My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey folks!



Yes, I know what you’re thinking… this is a great shot, and especially for a black dog. Black dogs are usually so hard to photograph because our expressions get lost in our blackness. But, as for me, I don’t take a bad shot. I am 55 pounds of pure muscle and handsomeness. This sunlight only enhances my rock hard physique and lustrous coat. And how about my dapper smile and these pearly whites? Sometimes I just can’t get over myself.



My dad says I am the most confident foster dog they have ever cared for. He also says I am super smart. My foster mom says that’s because I have heeler in me- you can see my blue spotted pattern in my legs and chest. The lady dogs (our neighbor’s rat terriers) find me irresistible. They prance up and down the gate line whenever I am out. And I play it totally cool. Even the neighbor (who is sometimes leary of the pittie fosters that stay here) thinks I am a cool dude and he always sticks his hand over the gate to pet my head and tell me what a good boy I am. I don’t know why I wouldn’t be?? But hey, I’ll take the love.



I didn’t get this amazing physique by eating donuts all day. I love to run laps around the yard and play catch with my foster dad and one of my foster dog brothers. I sometimes let that old dog, Buster, win and catch the ball while I act like I don’t know where it is. I appreciate him sharing his home and his family with me so that’s how I show my thanks. In fact, I like all of my foster siblings. Living here has been a dream. Did I forget to tell you, my foster family found me in a homeless camp? My street smarts and ability to charm people got me by. But sleeping in a bed, getting food brought to me everyday and having my own little people to play with is EVERYTHING!



Well, almost everything. I want a family of my own. I want my own people who look forward to coming home to me and my wagging tail. I want to be a part of family holiday photos. I want people who take 100’s of photos of me and show them to their friends and co-workers or post me on FB. This would be EVERYTHING!



My foster mom says every day I get closer to having my own family. She says the wait will be worth it- for me AND my people.



Cole is well mannered, affectionate and friendly. He would love his own yard and another furry friend his size.  He’s a great size. He’s great with our kids. He’s potty trained and crate trained. He had his first stay in boarding while we were gone and the kennel workers loved Cole.  They said he was "happy go lucky" and up for anything.  We couldn't agree more... Cole is a gem.



If you know anyone who might be interested, please send them my way.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

Go meet their pets

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
