Cody is a total people-dog who loves being part of the action. He’s incredibly social once he feels comfortable and thrives on human connection—snuggles, gentle attention, and hanging out with his favorite people are his love language.
New environments and unfamiliar faces can make Cody a little nervous at first, so he’ll do best with someone who understands that confidence comes with time and patience. Give him a chance to settle in, and you’ll see his sweet personality shine. Once he trusts you, he’s affectionate, cuddly, and eager to be your loyal sidekick.
Cody is the kind of dog who bonds deeply and wants to be close to his person. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will reward your patience with endless affection and heart-melting cuddles, Cody might just be your perfect match.

*Please note that walk-in appointments are welcomed and encouraged, and will be prioritized over online applications.
Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your environment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
