Meet Cody – Adopted
Cody is a sweet, affectionate, buff-and-white, male American Cocker Spaniel. This little guy was found as a stray, so we do not know his history, but we believe he is between one- and two-years old. He is not excessively energetic; however, he loves romping in the yard with other dogs and tries to play with his foster mom’s cats. Cody plays well with children as young as 5-years-old. He’s a little shy at first and somewhat insecure until he gets to know someone new, but once he warms up he is just a lover who enjoys people’s attention. Cody loves to play with balls and squeaky toys and he is learning tug-of-war with the other dogs. As you can see by his pictures, he loves rawhide chewies, also!
Cody does have issues with men initially, he tried to attack a foster’s husband when they first met and he also tried to bite the vet during the exam, but he can be sweet talked with gentle voices, petting and yummy treats. The husband was able to pet him and Cody was not afraid of him after the first evening.
He is house-trained and crate-trained and uses the crate voluntarily. At night he is loose in the house and does not have any accidents. This very gentle boy is learning his basic commands such as ‘sit’ and ‘come’, but only ‘come’ is solid at this point. He has not shown any resource guarding issues; his foster mom can take away his food or chew toy without incident. Cody is neutered and up-to-date on his shots, so he’s ready for his new forever home! If you are willing to work with him and socialize him to strangers, Cody will be a wonderful best friend for you!
