My story

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

🐾 Meet Cody! 🐾

Age: 4 years
Weight: 14 lbs
Breed: Dachshund

🧠 Personality Snapshot

Cody is a shy guy at first and needs 3–4 days to decompress and feel safe with new people. Once he warms up, he flips a switch — suddenly he’s your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your biggest fan. When settled in, he’s funny, outgoing, and friendly, and he truly enjoys playing with other dogs of all sizes.

Peeing when excited (improving with confidence and routine)

House Trained: Mostly

Door Dasher: No

A fenced yard is required

🐾 Adoption Info:

All of our animals are fully vetted, which includes spay/neuter, up to date on vaccines, wormed, heartworm tested and treated if necessary, up to date on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchipped prior to adoption.

Our requirements are non-negotiable and include the following:

All current pets in the home must be spayed or neutered if over 6 months of age, unless there is a documented medical exemption with veterinary confirmation.

All current dogs must be up to date on Rabies and Distemper/Parvo (DHPP) vaccinations.

All current dogs must be on consistent, consecutive heartworm prevention.

Past dogs listed on the application must also show a consecutive history of heartworm prevention.

Please also take a moment to read our requirements located in the application.

Please note:
The dog you’re applying for might already have a meet-and-greet scheduled, be on a trial with another family, or has been offered to another rescue within our network. Don’t worry though — we’re always happy to help you find another great match if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!).
