Story
Hi, I’m Cody! I recently arrived in Boulder, Colorado from Roswell, New Mexico and am looking for a furever family who can help me explore everything Colorado has to offer and give me the stability I need and deserve! I am shy with new people at first but open up fairly quickly. Once I trust you, I will greet you when you get home with the cutest little woo woos, hops, and tail wags. Having a doggie foster sibling has helped me to get comfortable faster and she also teaches me how to dog—I really like having her around. My foster mom says I am the perfect dog. I love to go explore the outdoors—I recently learned what hiking and trails are!—but once we’re back home, I’m super mellow. I like to chill and just observe what’s going on. I will patiently hang out on my dog bed while you work, and then I will be happy when it’s time for post-work walkies! I also love hanging out in the yard and just taking in all the new smells and sounds here.
Other things about Cody
- ~3.5 years old
- We think Alaskan husky mix with some German shepherd in there
- His response to stress is to not eat. He will need some patience and space at first to help him get comfortable in a new home.
- He is super smart. So, although he’s not food motivated, he learns your routine and how you would like him to behave in the house very quickly. We have started teaching him some basic commands, but he would love a family willing to continue training with him. He also had good off-leash recall with his NM foster but expect that might take time until he knows you’re his person.
- He’s naturally curious, so might wander out of your yard if he has the opportunity. He learns where home is quickly and will come back. But if you don’t live somewhere where this is ok, please have a secure yard where gates can’t accidentally get left open and spend some time supervising his yard time at first to teach him the boundaries.
- Has been crate trained, so would be ok using one in an emergency, but prefers to be a house dog when you are gone. He does great – he just lays on his dog bed or the couch and calmly waits for you to come home.
- He got passed around to multiple fosters in NM, with some long stints in a boarding facility in between, before he was able to make the trip up to Colorado. He needs and deserves a family who will consistently be there for him, and we are sure he will be a loyal companion in return!
- Dog friendly – he’s lived with various medium/large dogs and is polite greeting small dogs on walks
- Cats unknown. He could probably be trained to respect a kitty roommate, but he does have some small animal prey drive (bunnies are very interesting!).
- He hasn’t been around kids, but we think older kids who respect his boundaries should be fine.
