My story

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

We received an email asking if we would take Oreo into Cody's from a local shelter. He was surrendered by his owner because of "allergies". It is FLEA allergies. He was covered. This poor dog is not only heartworm positive, filthy (had to live outside all of his days) and severely matted on his legs and behind. As you can tell he could not see, and has a large, infected lump on his side. He has been deeply neglected. He was scared out of his mind in the shelter and shut down. After getting him today he is sweet, loving and so very tired. He allowed us to pet all over him. We cut the hair out of his eyes and loved on him. He will be decompressing for awhile and resting and then we begin his health journey. We desperately need a foster. We will need monies too. He is precious and so worth it. He is about 5 years old and 25 lbs but doesn't look it. He is low to the ground. He is great with other dogs. Now that he has been in a foster home we have an update. His skin is much better and healing. He is so happy. We do not think he is 5 years old. We think he is more like 2 years old. He is playful and happy. He had to be completely shaved but will grow back quickly.

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