My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.



Meet Cody – A Shy, Smart Chihuahua Mix with a Big Heart

North Carolina | 2 Years, 3 Months | Chihuahua Mix | ⚖️ 25 lbs | Male

Cody is the goodest boy—a sweet, playful, and sensitive 2-year-old Chihuahua mix who's come a long way since arriving in his foster home. At 25 lbs, he’s a bit bigger than your average Chi, but every pound is packed with potential and heart.

He’s still learning to trust people and can be shy, but Cody is incredibly smart and adjusting beautifully with time and patience. He now lets people approach, uses a bell on the back door to ask to go potty, and has had just one accident inside due to fear. He’s crate-trained, quiet, and loves to play with squeaky toys—or even play catch with himself!

Cody’s Ideal Home:
Great with other calm, friendly dogs

‍♂️ Prefers quiet humans – he’s not demanding of attention

Not suited for homes with young children (he’s afraid, but not aggressive)

Needs a secure fenced yard (still fearful of leashes)

Enjoys alone time or hanging with another gentle pup

Nearly house-trained – just needs routine and patience

Loves toys, soft beds, and calm environments

Not yet cat tested

Bonus:
Cody is low-maintenance, gentle, and just wants to feel safe. He doesn’t need constant attention—just a calm home, some space to decompress, and a kind person (or dog!) to quietly show him the good life.

Additional adoption info

The final step is to sign the adoption contract and make the adoption donation fee of $400.00. This may seem high, but it is actually a bargain! Your new pet will be up to date on the necessary vaccinations required by the age of the dog at time of adoption, spayed or neutered, on heartworm preventative and flea and tick meds, micro-chipped, groomed, and well on his or her way with basic obedience and house training. All of our dogs will be adopted out with a collar and leash, and a PMR tag.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer rescue organization devoted to saving dogs from shelters, puppy mills, abusive situations and abandonment in North Carolina. Our members foster, transport and help the rescue efforts with their individual skills, experience, knowledge and expertise, and most importantly, their love of dogs.


At Pawfect Match Rescue we believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance regardless of their breed or age.

We take a different approach to rescue. We don’t try to save the masses; we just save ONE at a time and make them the best dog they can be by the time they find their forever homes.

By that we mean that we take them into our homes where they live amongst us and our pets and are treated as one of the family, not as a foster dog. We accomplish this by limiting our fosters to one or two per household.

Besides the basics of crate training and house training, we teach them basic obedience, we groom them, feed them a high quality dog food, and last but not least, we shower them with LOVE and attention that hopefully teaches them to trust again and realize that life really IS good..

We’ll never be able to save them all, no matter how many we try to pull and foster. So we believe that the one at a time approach with the extra TLC allows us to really KNOW the dogs and be able to match them more precisely with their new families.

This ends up being a win- win situation for all involved.

Pawfect Match is all volunteer and relies solely on adoption donation fees and public support. Most times our adoption donations do not cover our medical expenses.
