My story

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

Meet adorable, Dennis! He was at a local shelter on death row. A bad rescue got him and was going to send him to a horrible place. We heard about it and the foster let us have him because she was scared for his safety. Dennis came in super skinny at only 44 lbs. He is a healthier weight now about 50 lbs and is about a year old. He is hilarious. He sits on the couch like he pays the mortgage and that his foster should be bringing him breakfast on a platter! Well, everything he has been through he deserves it! Now he is a very happy boy! He LOVES his walks! He is potty trained. He can sleep in a crate but prefers to sleep by you on his bed or if you are willing with you! He does not need to be crated. He adores toys! He can destroy them, so the Kong toys are his best friends! He needs a yard because he tends to give the rabbits a run for their money. He LOVES his belly rubs or affection in anyway. He will push his head in your lap until you rub him or he will flip on his back for a belly pet. He is highly driven by food or treats. He will do ANYTHING you want for one of those. He is so deserving of a loving home. He is good with other dogs as well. Interested in Dennis? Please fill out an application at codysfriendsrescue.org

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.

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........................
