My story

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

Marley was dumped at Dowdy Ferry, where hundreds of dogs are dumped dead and alive.  Thank goodness a good samaritan we know, took the time to get a trap and get this stunning dog. He was filthy, dirty, burrs in his fur, and bleeding from a deep wound.  But those big blue eyes mesmorized us and we just had to help him. He came to our Founder broken, not only fearful but clamped to the floor, running from humans and shaking when one walked by.  For months he lived this way locked in his own dread.  Today, after quiee a few months, he is playing with other dogs, eating well and letting humans come close again.  He is allowing us to rub his head, and chin and body and go on walks and he has come so far.  We don't know what his past was but we know it was not good - it wasn't loving - it was far from that and then dumped to die in a horriffic area.  We love Marely and you will too.  He might be a bit of extra work - he might always jump a bit when he is unsure, He might take some patience to develop your trust, but he will give you so much in return. We stand behind Marley and will get him training if needed, when he finds an adopter.  Want to be that person?  Applications to adopt foster to adopt Marley or interested in adoption please fill out an application at codysfriendsrescue.org   He would most likely need a home with older children if any.  He loves other dogs - just not sure about very small dogs.  We are not sure he has ever seen one before but loves to play with dogs that are medium to large.  They make him happy and allow him to guide him through life.  This poor baby is so deserving. - we do ask for an experienced dog owner who understands patience and understands that he is almost there...

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